Thunder Alam Digestive problem . You may feed him digestive medicines for dog. If it doesn’t work , then you should visit doctor.

Autumn Vomiting can be for many reasons.
Upset stomach? Could he/she have gotten into anything? Ate something they weren’t suppose to?We recommending withholding for for the day and starting to then feed small amount if they seem to be improving.
Next steps would be radiographs to confirm whether anything seems odd, and sometimes sending out a blood panel to check levels.
Let us know if you have any questions!
So Ten Weeks Ago My Cat Escaped While She Was In Heat. And Now She…
So ten weeks ago my cat escaped while she was in heat. And now she gained weight and her nipples are swollen. She’s been eating alot lately.She’s a young cat and i read that a pregnant cat vomits during the beginning of her pregnancy but my cat hasn’t. Now I don’t know if she’s just bloated or pregnant. Can you help me please ?

Dawn Ferara, DVM The best way to tell if your cat is pregnant is to take her to a vet for an exam. However, if you are correct about the ten weeks then she should have had the kittens by now. I recommend taking her to a vet for an exam and to get her spayed.
Good Luck
My Cats Always Choke On Hairballs In Their Throats (without Vomiting) So I Would…
My cats always choke on hairballs in their throats (without vomiting) so I would prefer (if available online/in your local store) a dry cat food brand that eliminates/controls the hairballs in my cats’ throats in addition to the food being completely FREE of BY-PRODUCTS because 2 of my 3 cats have suffered from Meow-Mix (which contains by-products).

Anonymous Unfortunately, we don’t really know what’s available in Turkey. Can you give us a list of what you can get there?
-
Zaid Kilani Sorry if I startled you but I’m only visiting Turkey for this month (I actually live in Jordan) but I’m willing to order/ship cat food online because the available foods in Jordan are Meow Mix, Le Chat and Royal Canin. I’ve tried all these (both the wet and dry food versions) and my cats never seemed to like them.
My Puppy Went On A Short, Hot Hike Yesterday. Today He Is Very Lethargic And…
My puppy went on a short, hot hike yesterday. Today he is very lethargic and lays or sits down every chance he gets. There is no vomit, diarrhea, discolored tongue/gums, and he is eating and drinking. Should I worry about the lethargy?

PK Dennis Yes, I would worry – give your vet a call, explain your concerns and see if they can get you in to see the doctor for a few moments.
-
Eric Paulsen Thanks. I did call my vet, but based on the normalcy of everything else he wasn’t concerned and figured he was exhausted from the hike. Better safe than sorry!

PK Dennis It is good that you had the conversation – you are right about safe/sorry!
When We Arrived Home From Work, There Was A Grease Can In The Living Room…
When we arrived home from work, there was a grease can in the living room he had gotten into. Unless it is a major coincidence, we believe that he ingested who knows how much. Are these symptoms normal for grease ingestion in a small dog? He has had no diarrhea at all, and only vomited one time. The other times he is dry heaving it kind of sounds like he is wheezing

MY Cat Has Been Sick For 5 Days With A Fever. No Vomiting No Diarrhea…
MY cat has been sick for 5 days with a fever. No vomiting no diarrhea except for a little on the second day. He has a fever, he’s drinking a lot, lethargic, not grooming. I took him to a vet who gave him something for the fever and an antibiotic shot. He’s eating and drinking which is good but the fever is not going down. The vet prescribed Fevadol which has paracetamol in it. We are in a country with no good vets and no real access to pet medication, but everything I have read says that paracetamol is poisonous to cats. I would give anything for him to get better, but there are no vets that I trust here and I am so confused on what to do. He’s obviously fighting an infection but the vet said he doesn’t seem to have a URI, he has no signs in his chest and no discharge from eyes or nose. I just don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart watching him in pain. please help.
He’s a 4 year old male.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Normally I would tell you to follow the doctor’s instructions but it seems paracetamol is acetometaphin which is very toxic to cats!!! However, without examining your cat it is impossible for me to really give you any advice. My recommendation is to try and find a vet you trust because your cat needs treatment.
Good luck

D A Thank you for your response. I know he needs treatment, I am very scared for him, but as I said there are no reliable vets here. Is there something over the counter that could bring down his fever?

Dawn Ferara, DVM No there really isn’t.

Anonymous If she’s vomiting frequently and urinating frequently, I worry about something like an infection. Please get her to the vet now.
-
Dawn Ferara, DVM Frequent vomiting is not a good sign in any animal and I recommend getting her to a vet before she completely loses her appetite.
Every dog and every disease is different. Hopefully you caught it very early and he will only need to be hospitalized for a minimal amount of time.
Although I agree with Krista my general rule of thumb is the larger the puppy, and the faster the disease is diagnosed and treated the better the chance of survival.
Good Luck parvovirus is a nasty disease.
