My 6-year-old Staffy, Drummer, vomited pink foam and has had diarrhea since Friday night. He may have eaten something bad on a walk. I gave him rice and chicken, but he had more diarrhea. I'm worried about dehydration. What should I do?

My dog, Felix, has a swollen eye with the third eyelid showing. The swelling started yesterday, and he doesn't lick the affected area. He has dermatitis and allergies that affect his eyes during this time of year. What could this mean, and should I rush him to the vet or wait until his appointment tomorrow?

My 3 lb 15-year-old dog, Sasha, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting foam for 4 days. She has not eaten anything unusual and has been given boiled chicken with white rice. What over-the-counter medicines can I give her to help?

Recently applied insecticide along the walls and mopped over it. If my toy-sized dog (30 pounds) had licked in those spots, will they be okay? What signs should I look for if they ingested any of the insecticide?

My dog takes Simparica Trio for ticks 6 months of the year. He was supposed to have his first dose for the summer on April 1 but I haven’t refilled his prescription yet. I have one pill left from last year which expired December 2022. Is it safe to give him this pill? He’s an 18-pound Schnoodle and is 2 years old.
