I have a one-year-old Shih Tzu named Pudge. His eating habits have become sporadic, and he has intermittent vomiting spells with specks of blood. He also exhibits behaviors like stretching, clawing, and being clingy. Despite being active and gaining weight, he has not improved after completing prescribed medications. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My dog, Luka, a 2 1/2-year-old Dalmatian, has had a persistent cough for a few days, followed by vomiting and diarrhea today. He is now lethargic, shivering, and not eating or drinking. His breathing sounds slightly labored, and his gums are somewhat dry. Should I take him to the emergency room tonight, or can I wait to schedule an in-person visit tomorrow?

My large dog, Sol, age 3, has a sensitive stomach and usually gets diarrhea when he eats something unusual. Recently, he has developed bloody diarrhea and is vomiting frequently, with heavy breathing and fatigue. He has no known pre-existing medical conditions and has been checked by a vet this year. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate steps can be taken?

My 75lb lab puppy, Tommy, got into a bottle of transmission fluid. I'm not sure how much was ingested, but the bottle was pierced, some fluid spilled into the grass, and there was some on his snout. He has not thrown up and is acting totally normal, but it's been about 15-20 minutes since this happened. What should I do?
