I have a 7-month-old Ihapsa lapso named Oreo. I've been having difficulty finding the right food he likes, so I'm giving him homemade dog food like cooked chicken with vegetables. However, for the past two days, he has been restless and sounds fatigued when we go to sleep, staying this way for around 2 hours before he finally sleeps. The next day, he seems fine. Could this be because I'm feeding him too much and it's too heavy for him to digest?

My dog has congestive heart failure and takes a diuretic and Vetmedin. My dog gets up 5 to 8 times a night, causing me to have erratic sleep for two months, which is affecting my job and mental health. How can I get a stretch of sleep to continue caring for my dog and managing my responsibilities?

I purchased a long-haired German Shepherd puppy last week. He was born on December 14th and has shown signs of being lethargic, having abdominal discomfort, and making strange noises in his stomach and chest cavity. He also had a large number of tape worms, which were treated, but the discomfort persists. I am concerned about possible megaesophagus or another vascular ring anomaly. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?

Our 8 1/2 year old male golden retriever, Jackson, died suddenly on January 18th. He had been doing fine and had a vet visit in October. In November, he had diarrhea with mucus and some blood, which resolved after a few weeks. He then had a few nights with increased bathroom trips, but his stool returned to normal. He passed away suddenly in the early morning. The animal hospital suggested it might be a seizure or related to his brain or heart. Did I neglect him, and should I have done something differently?

My 10-pound dog ate a 100 mg carprofen tablet meant for our 60-pound dog. Do we need to induce vomiting?
