I am dog sitting for my daughter and all three senior dogs have diarrhea. One had diarrhea all over the house yesterday and today another one did the same. I am trying to give them pumpkin and mashed banana. Can I give them a little Kaopectate? They are acting lethargic but they usually sleep most of the day. One dog, Angel, has a breathing disorder and weakness in her back legs, and the other, Tofu, has a disorder causing loss of appetite and vomiting bile. How do I treat their diarrhea?

My dog, Jackson, a healthy 6-year-old, has been frantically eating grass and vomiting several times a day for the past two days. The vomit smell has worsened, but he hasn't lost his appetite and doesn't seem to be in pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 10-year-old boxer named Sam with a torn ACL, arthritis, and allergies. He's been on 100mg gabapentin twice a day and 75mg vetprofen twice a day for 6 months and is doing well, but I'm wondering if it's necessary to give him both medications or if a double dose of gabapentin would suffice. Vetprofen and Apoquel are expensive, while gabapentin is more affordable.

My 50-pound dog ate a cotton round that had been soaked in a water-borax solution (about 2 cups water, 1-3 tablespoons borax, and some sugar). Should I be worried, and is there anything else important the Veterinarian should know about the dog?

I have a 10-year-old miniature poodle named Laylah who has had intermittent blood-streaked stool for a month. The vet found a slightly enlarged spleen and prescribed amoxicillin for 7 days, which seemed to improve her condition. However, after a couple of weeks, she has shown decreased appetite and general malaise. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?
