I took my cat to a vet because she started vomiting and had diarrhea as well with fever. The vet gave her 3 injection along with a medication I had to give her later that night. However, the next day she still vomited, as well as today but the diarrhea stopped. I really need to know if this is normal since her body is trying to get rid of the virus. And what signs should I look for that can be alarming.
Her heart rate is normal, it’s not beating so fast. When she puked there wasn’t any blood. She has been peeing allot and shes kinda panting but not allot. She’s acting very sleep and it’s freaking me out. It’s been 7 hours and nothing major happened. Oh but a couple of times her backs legs shaked allot. Is she going to be okay?
HE HAS BEEN SPITTING HAIRBALLS, MY MOM DOESN’T KNOW CAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF HE’S OKAY AND WANTED TO ASK HERE 1ST. HE’S BEEN DOIN DAT STUFF 4 LIKE 5 DAYS THO, HELP GUYZZ
I don’t know how many of you specialize in worms, but my worm has been worming a lot lately. If anyone can help, I feel bad and don’t know WAT 2 doo. That brings me to the point, my dog eats his own poopies.
Anyways, the more important stuff than the poopies, is the balls. My cat Luis has been spitting out his hairballs, I’m trying to feed them back but don’t know if it’s the right thing to doo. Plz help.

I have a dog named Bob and he’s been eating his poop. WAT should I do do, get it doo doo. Like, dog poop. SOOO, WAT SHOOD I DOO?
Jeff,
Thank you Dr. Dawn, I want to make his poop taste so bad, he doesn’t even want to poop anymore, especially not inside the house. Not to the point where he explodes lol but to the point he holds it in until he gets outside then doesn’t eat it because it tastes really good. And because he likes doo doo, he mustn’t like poopies. Thank you. ~ My name is Jeff.
My puppy swollowed about 1/2 tbs of children’s Tylenol about two hours ago should she be okay?
I called the vet and they said as long as she isn’t vomiting or her breathing changes then I shouldn’t bring her in..
i have a 2 month old siberian husky he eats and drinks water perfectly but when he starts walking his back legs starts to shake i’m not sure if it’s because he’s not feeling good since he got his shots and dewormer but i’m concern help
i called my vet and he informed me that as long as he was eating and drinking he should be okay because he poop all the worms that he had and thats probably why hes feeling like he had no energy to give him a couple of days until he gets his energy back i also told the vet that i would like an xray done what do u think
my cat has pooped and pissed on himself, he’s barely walking and sounds like he’s having a little trouble breathing, has been drinking water, what should I do?
he needs a vet NOW.
VET VET VET!!!!!!!
My dog has started tearing apart pillows. Started when we would leave her alone, now she does it at night when we’re sleeping. She doesn’t like toys or chews so we don’t know what to do with her and we take her on several walks a day.
She was recently spayed and we’ve taken her to the vet and had blood work done which came back all normal. We took her to the emergency vet after the first pillow because we didn’t know if she ate any of it and they did an X-ray and saw she was constipated so they gave her an enema. She’s hasn’t been eating her food and she tries to eat grass sometimes too.

This dog needs a job. You need to find something that engages her mind and uses up her energy. Flyball if she loves balls, agility, herding sheep. Something you do together. If you only walk her she will need 2 one hour walks per day — believe me you will both be happier with a one hour walk and a training session each day for her “job” than those 2 one hour walks each day.
Next you need to crate train her. Get a very strong crate and watch a video on YouTube about how to get your dog to love a crate – Zak George has a few good videos, just put zak george in the YouTube search and they will pop right up. Crate your dog at night and when you leave the house. You might also want to consider an outdoor kennel run for her when you aren’t home. A good dog is one that managed in such a way that they don’t have the opportunity to do bad things like eating pillows.
Next you have to find things that you dog can chew and give her 2 things to chew per day. I suggest Kongs – stuff them with good stuff like peanut butter and bananas, some of her dog food, green tripe, etc and freeze it so she has to work to get the stuffing out. This will satisfy her need to chew. Avoid any bone that has been cooked or smoked! Antlers aren’t too good for their teeth either if she tries to break off pieces. Raw hip joints are good if you can find them (the ball part at then end of the leg bones – look for them at a butcher shop).
Thanks for the suggestions! Yea we agree she needs something to do. We’ve found she doesn’t like balls, frisbees kongs, peanut butter or bananas. We tried having her do an agility course at a dog park that’s 30 min from us but she wouldn’t leave our side. Guess we just need to show her a couple times how to do it. Not sure where we could find something for her to herd but that might work. We think she may be constipated again and in pain because she’s not excited about walks, is lethargic and hasn’t eaten in 24hrs. We’re looking for toys that engage her. Every treat and toy we’ve gotten her she hides in the couch and buries it under the blanket.
Sounds like the dog has abandonment issues try giving her socks or her own blanket
My dog may have eaten a piece of memory foam -earlier today she rose my bed up a little and it looked like the pieces were all there but now her stomach is making loud digestion noises so I am scared
hairballs are a natural thing for cats. you can’t really prevent them.
While hairballs are normal having this many isn’t. I would recommend a vet visit to try to find out the cause.
