I am changing my dog from a homemade diet to a high-quality kibble. She had issues with kibble as a puppy but is now transitioning slowly. She has had loose stools for the past two days after increasing her kibble intake to 1/3-1/2 cup. Should I continue feeding the kibble, assuming it's just her adjusting to the new diet?

My German Shepherd has been treated for heartworms in the past and is now skinny with visible ribs, walking like an old dog despite being young. Thyroid and kidney function tests are normal, liver function is slightly off, monocyte count is high, and fecal exam is normal. She was also vomiting but has stopped recently. What could be causing her weight loss and lethargy?

My 4-year-old husky, Timmy, has been very lethargic, barely eating, walking, or drinking, and keeps softly whining. He was neutered a month ago, but that was the only change in his routine. He seems to have energy for walks but is otherwise very sick. What could be causing this and what should I do?
