My dog is throwing up, has diarrhea, and is shaking. He had his regular dinner tonight and I'm unaware of what set it off. He is a 5lb Pomeranian, three years old, up to date on his shots, and otherwise healthy. He started to have leaky stool this afternoon and has been having difficulty controlling his bowels and vomiting since then. Was he given different food while I was out of town and did he have access to plants, new treats, or could he have licked/eaten a spider/bug while on a walk?

My 6.5-year-old lab retriever cross had an allergic reaction to a rabies shot and started NSAIDs and glucosamine supplements a week ago. His eye swelled, he has had constipation and diarrhea with blood streaks, is eating grass and vomiting bile daily, and is acting strange and restless. The vet said he was restless due to arthritis and prescribed NSAIDs and glucosamine. I've stopped these meds for 24 hours, and he just ate some rice. He turned in circles and defecated in the house, which he never does. Do you think the meds caused the problem, and should I wait to see if it improves?

My puppy, Coby, vomited mucus yesterday morning and now has mucus in his stool along with white clumps. He is a picky eater and only eats soft, chunky stew puppy food. He has been playful but lethargic at times. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My extra large Springer Spaniel is on thyroid medication and Inmufilt for allergies. He breathes hard a lot. We live in Mexico, which is very dusty. Does he seem to be breathing hard after exercise more or is the breathing hard random? Is he coughing? Is he still eating and drinking? Is he still active?

My dog, Rebel, has been very sleepy, possibly in discomfort, and has a large bump on his right side near his hind leg. He eats non-food items and has a history of high fevers and overnight vet stays for antibiotics. How can I determine if he has an intestinal obstruction or another issue, and what tests should I request from my vet?
