My 1-year-old 5lb Chihuahua, Dexter, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting for three days, and now he is barely walking as if his joints hurt. The vomiting has stopped, but he is still unwell. What could be causing his symptoms, and what should I do to help him?

My 11-week-old Samoyed puppy, Loki, started having diarrhea last night. He eats and drinks well, is active, and has been trying to eat dead leaves and acorns. I have a bottle of kaolin pectin suspension that was prescribed for my adult collie. Could I give Loki a dose of this, and if so, how much? I've also been adding cooked white rice to his moistened puppy food. What else should I consider or do for Loki's diarrhea?

My 18 lbs, almost 2-year-old pug named Sophie might have eaten weed. She was lethargic, wobbly, and threw up when we came home. What should I do?

Last night, my dog, Mary Ann (a 7-year-old American foxhound weighing 55 pounds), got into some dark roast ground coffee. She has been peeing a lot today, hasn't pooped, and her energy seems typical. She hasn't vomited. Could this be a cause for concern, and should I monitor her for any specific symptoms?

My dog, Miya, who is 6 years old, has a big soft lump on the side of her head near her ear. It is not sensitive to touch and she seems fine otherwise. I have an appointment scheduled for Saturday, but I'm concerned about waiting that long. What should I do in the meantime?
