I have a new 3-month-old puppy named Rufo who is having a hard time eating after switching his food from soft to solid. He has had diarrhea for a couple of days and hasn't eaten much in the last two days. His energy level is about the same, still pretty active, but he is a bit less active due to nearby fireworks. He doesn't seem to be in any pain. What could be causing his loss of appetite and diarrhea, and what should I do?

My one-year-old chocolate lab, Dakine, hasn't eaten all day, is throwing up, and seems lethargic and not himself. He went swimming in a clean lake and drank water from puddles on a hike. He's up to date on all shots. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate some citralopram between 3-4 hours ago. Possibly 600 mg, he’s an 82 pound, Great Pyrenees who is 1.5 years old. He’s vomited a couple times. He peed a normal amount an hour ago. He wags his tail and lifts his head. He’s alert and his gums look the same. I’m hours away from a vet. What should I do and what should I look for with his behavior over the next few hours?

I accidentally gave my dog, Ida, the wrong dosage of Flea and Tick Medication (Fluralaner chews). She ate one 1000mg pill meant for larger dogs, but she was supposed to get a 250mg dosage. Should I be worried, and is there anything I should do?

I think my Jack Russell Terrier, Sampson, has had a heat stroke. He got out of our doggie yard and was running wildly when our neighbors found him. He is now extremely lethargic and can't stand up. He just ate a little bit of wet food and perks his ears up when we talk to him, but he follows us with his eyes. He saw the vet on June 21 for an annual check-up and is not on any medications. What should I do, and is it okay to wait until morning to take him to the vet since we live in a rural area and I don't know where the closest ER is?
