A 7-month-old Samoyed puppy named Ladie is experiencing frequent regurgitation of food and water, labored breathing, diarrhea for 4 days, excessive lip licking, and vomiting yellow bile today. She has been fed a bland diet of chicken and rice with pediatric electrolytes for 2 days but shows no improvement. She may have ingested a couple of Skittles and has been lethargic for two days. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate steps should be taken?

My niece's 8-year-old Chihuahua, who weighs 20-25 lbs, was playing with another dog this morning and yelped after bending his neck back. Now, he has his tail between his legs, is walking with his butt low to the ground, and won't eat. He also seems to be avoiding turning his head and is looking around with his eyes instead. He had a normal poop around 7 AM and his gums are pink, breathing is normal. What could be wrong and what should we do?

My 4-5 month old dog, Charley, started vomiting clear slime and has lost his appetite, but is still drinking water. He vomited his dog food, followed by slime and water, and is now laying around. I'm worried because his sister recently died from vomiting and diarrhea. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Koda, a 2-year-old Shar Pei, has had persistent diarrhea since Sunday evening, which now includes bright red blood in addition to watery stool. He has vomited once, is slightly lethargic, and his spirits are good. He has not eaten anything unusual, and his diet was recently switched to rice and grilled chicken. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My dog, Lilo, has a hole in her skin due to a shock collar injury. She did not bleed out, but there is blood inside. She is 2 years old and weighs around 50 pounds. I have not seen a vet yet. What should I do to treat the wound and do I need to give her any antibiotics?

One of my Rat Terriers ate half of a chocolate brownie. The brownie weighed 3.7 oz. The Rat Terriers are a female named Sissy weighing 8 lbs and a male named Odie weighing 12 lbs, both just over a year and a half old. It happened about a half hour ago, and there has been no vomiting yet. What should I do?
