I am hand-rearing a 12-day-old puppy, feeding it Wombaroo dog milk as per the formula. The puppy has been constipated for 24 hours, is fed about 12ml every 3 hours, and seems to be in pain as it makes noise intermittently. The puppy passes urine normally when massaged. The last bowel movement was about 24 hours ago, and the puppy was dosed with 1/3 ml of Scourban at the vet's directive for loose bowel movements, twice daily for two doses in 24 hours, with the last dose at 10:30 PM yesterday. What should I do to help the puppy with constipation?

My 1-year-old dog, JP, received his annual rabies shot, heartworm medicine, and deworming oral medication yesterday. Almost 36 hours later, he is vomiting. He had eaten an hour earlier, and the vomit was somewhere between liquid and foamy, with a lot of food left over. He has been lethargic since the shots but still playful and alert. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My dog, Odie, a 12-year-old 22lb dog, ingested a 1000iu Vitamin D3 pill about 15 minutes ago. He is currently on heart guard and nexguard, and had surgery for a herniated disc but no longer needs any meds for that. Is this ingestion a cause for concern, and what should I do?

My dog, Waylon, a 9-year-old weighing approximately 80lbs, recently vomited twice (once with food and once liquid) and now has diarrhea after being given a new treat (a bone with marrow). The diarrhea is still brown but watery, and there is no blood. He has been drinking and keeping water down. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Gracie, a 2.5-year-old French Bulldog, licked an open dishwasher detergent pod and experienced mild mouth foaming and facial swelling. I rinsed her mouth out. Should I be concerned, and what further steps should I take?
