My husband accidentally tripped and fell on our small 2-pound puppy, and now she has vomited three times and pooped twice. What do we need to do?

Our 6-year-old Pomeranian is doing a lot of butt rubbing. She was groomed yesterday and had her anal glands expressed. She slept well and is eating, but seems uncomfortable when walking around. She sits in one spot and goes round and round like something is itching her. What could be causing this discomfort and what can we do to help her?

My 9-year-old female F2 labradoodle has been panting for the last month even at rest, despite having perfect lungs and heart on X-ray and a negative Cushings test. She also drools more than normal from the left side of her mouth and is more focused on food. Her behavior towards people and other dogs has not changed, and she remains very active. My vet suggests it might be behavioral, but I feel something is not right. Should I consider anti-anxiety medication, or is there another approach to investigate?

My standard doodle is due in 14 days. It is a bit cold out. This is our first litter. How should I groom her? Should I take all her hair off her tummy and back side? How can I take care of keeping her clean after the puppies are here and she won't want to leave them?
