My 9.5-year-old dog, Griffin, is lethargic, not eating, drinking water and throwing it up, and showing slow shallow breathing. He ate a small chicken bone last night and was outside in the creek and yard. My husband found a small bump on his side, which he thinks is a fatty lump. We live in a country area and are concerned about a possible snake bite. What could be causing these symptoms, and should we take him to a vet immediately?

My 15-year-old dog, Dillinger, is bleeding severely from his behind and has large red bumps. He is too heavy to pick up and take to the vet. What can be done to help him at home, and is it necessary to take him to the vet despite his age?

She has vomited about 4-5 times today and had loose stool yesterday. She hasn't eaten today but is drinking water. What could be causing her vomiting and what should I do to help her?
