I have a breeding establishment of 8 bitches and recently some of my puppies were found to have diarrhea when they moved to new owners. The cause has been identified as Giardia, which is difficult to eliminate. I was wondering if I could give the lactating bitches Panacur or some other medicine to reduce the effects of Giardia in the puppies, or if keeping the puppies until they are 3 months old would reduce the risk of illness compared to 8 weeks old. Is there any way to reduce the risk to the new buyers?

My dog ate a peel-off face mask. He's been having diarrhea all day, and now there's blood in his stool. What should I do?

My rabbit, Winston, is showing early signs of stasis. He is eating hesitantly, had a bad shed, and is a bit lethargic. He's been having string of pearls, aggression towards his partner, and smaller Cocoa Puffs than usual. He recently refused kale but started eating again after being given critical care through a syringe. Should I take him to the vet, even though he's eating, albeit belabored?

My 1-year-old mixed breed dog (half Shih Tzu, half Chihuahua) is congested, has reverse sneezing, snores, and is eating very little. He has always had allergies and is currently drowsy but still plays. What should I look for to determine if his condition is serious, and is his congestion likely due to normal allergies?

My dog, Sam, who weighs 80lbs and is 1 year 10 months old, ate 2 Sambucol capsules containing vitamin C, zinc, and black elderberry juice extract. Will he be okay? What are the next steps?

My 1-year-old Chihuahua, Elly, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting today. She had solid poop followed by liquid poop, vomited undigested and digested food, and her last bowel movement was mostly air with a small amount of liquid. She is acting normally otherwise, drinking water, and her gums are light pink. Should I withhold food or offer a bland diet like white rice and boiled chicken? I also have anti-inflammatory and anti-vomiting medication from another dog, is it safe to give these to Elly?
