My 3 year old chihuahua just threw up brown liquid. I recall him eating cats stool but that was like 2 weeks ago can that be the reason why? Should I be worried? He seems fine like his usual self.
I have a puppy Labrador that was dropped off at my house last night she’s thin but she’s eating and going to the restroom. But she whizzes and than throws up.
Two days ago all my cat Morgan did was sleep and eat and I thought he just needed alone time so I ignored it. But during the night my cat started to vomit a green-yellow liquid and just sleeped. He wouldn’t eat or go to the restroom until the afternoon.During this time he was starting to act normal and eat. But then when he walk he had a small limp. As the hours past he couldn’t even walk or move. When he tries to sit up all he does is cry in pain. He hasn’t eaten since the afternoon and is currently sleeping. He has not been yet neutered or gotten all his vaccine since we barely found him in the street and are currently working on getting them done. He has an appointment tomorrow with his vet but am scared that he won’t survive the night and don’t like seeing in pain. Is their anything I can do to lessen his pain. And how would one transport him to the vet since with any movement his in pain.
Hello,
Sorry your cat is not feeling well.
To transport him to a vet, you’ll just have to be gentle with him. He needs to go so just take your time. Maybe slide a towel under him and wrap the sides up around him like a burrito,,then gently lift it and place him in a cat carrier. He will probably howl or hiss, but you’ve got to take him to be seen. Just do it quick but gentle.
If you have a cat carrier you can usually remove the top and just set him inside, then screw or snap the top back in place. If you don’t have a carrier, find a box, poke holes in it that are size of a quarter, then put him into the box for transport.
Good luck!!

I had a 6 year old female rabbit. The day we noticed these symptoms was the day we had to put her down unfortunately. When we saw her she was holding her head up constantly and only one side of her nose was twitching which wasn’t twitching properly in itself. She didn’t eat a single thing or drink anything that day despite our attempts. I called her and she was all over the place trying to walk, not steady at all, she was staying in one position. Once I lifted her up I noticed blood spots on her bottom but there didn’t seem to be any in the litter tray. Very lethargic and not responding to anything. As I said, I made the choice to have her put down. The vet did say she felt masses in the abdomen on her initial examination but we didn’t find out what was actually wrong. Any suggestions or answers would be much appreciated!
Hi Beth,
I’m sorry for the loss of your rabbit.
It’s very hard to say what may have been wrong with your rabbit. Since you said your vet did feel masses, I’d tend to believe that was most likely the cause of her having these issues. Most likely if she felt masses, there may have been other issues as well that she just couldn’t see or feel. She could have had a mass rupture internally and that may have caused her odd head symptoms and lack of wanting to eat.
Rabbits of course need to constantly eat or else their digestive symptoms start to shut down so once she’s to the point of not eating then it’s usually a downhill battle. It would have been interesting to get a necropsy done on her, but that would have been costly depending on your vet. Some vets will do it for free just for learning purposes.
Again, very sorry for your loss.

Thank you for the reply 🙂
Female Rabbit, 6 years old
Symptoms: Holding head up constantly
Blood spots on bottom
Not eating or drinking 24 hours prior to when she was put to sleep
Lethargic
Very unstable, attempts to move ended with her moving sideways
our vets suggests euthanasia( we’ve been saying no to that).He is eating minimally, but at least he eats. he’s on IV fluid. He’s 1 year and 8 months old miniature pinscher.
There are ups and downs. there are days he’s doing good but other times he’s really sick. We would never give up, we love him. Do you have any idea about the signs of recovery? like the hardening of his pad foot?
Thanks for the reply. we’ve been regretting about not having enough thought of giving him vaccines. Thanks again, best of luck!
She’s eating and drinking fine, she is making nest, is this normal for all mice? Her weight gain is just around her belly area.
Hi Charlotte,
Mice usually are jumpy/twitchy but without seeing your mouse, it’s hard to say what is going on. It could just be a normal mouse moving.
If she’s eating and drinking she is probably fine. YES, mice , all mice make nests, usually quite large one’s too. Add some paper towel or toilet paper tubes and she will have a ball shredding them up. Sounds like she may be pregnant. If she is, you will soon find baby mice! They are only pregnant for a few weeks before having babies and they can have around 7-14 babies.
Enjoy your new mouse!

After that his behavior has changed from being an energetic dog (running a lot, jumping on me, etc.) and after that not so energetic. He sometimes just keeps standing. He eats well but now eats slower unlike before the haircut when he ate very fast.
My 7 year old pitbull recently went about 4 days (maybe 5) without defecating and eating minimally (no dog food, just occasionally would sneak some people foood) and escessively thirsty and peeing excessively . I made a vet appointment, and the day prior to the appointment she defecated, and began to eat (not much for the most part, juat a few bites here and there and was back to being herself in regards to personality. To be safe I took her to the vet anyway as an appointment had already been made. The vet diagnosed it as pancreatitis, noting that she seemed to have pulled through the worst of it on her own he said and put her on a course of meds (antibiotic and what I understood to be a probiotic) After the first day of meds she again became lethargic, and again won’t eat, not eating is putting it lightly, she has an aversion to it, regardless of what food it is she tends to get up and move elsewhere to avoid it. She is still urinating and defecating infrequently despite diminished food and liquid intake
What diagnostics did your vet do to determine it was pancreatitis? It is possible that she’s reacting to the antibiotic or it is possible that the diagnosis is something else. I’d definitely call the vet back and tell them what is going on.
blood test and general examination. I will call to see if it’s a reaction to the meds
Can’t comment on the blood test much without knowing what it showed and whether or not they ran cPL. Please do talk to them, though.
my cross terrier has lost weight. he had the runs about 1 1/2 weeks ago. took him to vets but meds not working. only drank small amount since and wont eat at all. vets gave antibiotics and pro kolin. what is wrong with him??
Two weeks ago is probably too long ago. Keep monitoring him. Keep us posted and I hope he feels better!
Thank you and will do!
