I just got a 7-week-old American Pit Bull puppy. She is very active when she wants to play but sleeps most of the day and sometimes refuses to stay awake. She has had intermittent diarrhea and eats less than I think a typical puppy should. I changed her diet from Blue brand to Canine Caviar puppy food and gave her new puppy treats, which I've since stopped. I am concerned if this is just her adapting to the move or if it could be something else. She has not been vaccinated yet due to COVID-related cancellations, and I am unable to get her seen by a vet until March 4th. What should I do?

The change in diet and environment can cause ongoing diarrhea, which might explain her decreased act...

My 11-year-old dog, Jafare, is having trouble walking, his back is slightly hunched, and he has labored breathing. He eats, drinks, pees, and poops fine when carried outside. He's not wincing or whining in pain, but he's not barking, which is unusual for him. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I noticed hair loss around the vulva of an 8-week-old Rottweiler puppy I'm in the process of adopting. The breeder mentioned the skin is not red but rough. The puppy is not licking or scooting the area, and she has received her shots. What could be causing the hair loss, and is the puppy considered unhealthy?

My 30 lbs corgi named Emily, who is 1 year old and likes to eat branches when outside, just swallowed a 1/2” flat plastic button. Will it pass through, and what should I do if it doesn't?

My Labradoodle, Lucy, got into my baby's vitamin D drops last night. The bottle is 15 ml with 400 IU per drop, and it was not full. Lucy weighs between 60 and 70 lbs. She went outside several times but hasn't vomited yet. What should I do?
