My 10-year-old Chihuahua, Lilly, has stopped eating in the past 24 hours, continues to drink but vomits it up, hasn't gone to the bathroom in about 18 hours, and is lethargic. She seems suddenly very skinny. Lilly just finished going through heat, has never been vaccinated, and has never been to a vet. Is she spayed?

My 40 lb cocker spaniel named Smiley, who is 7 years old, may have just swallowed a nectarine pit. Should I administer peroxide to make him vomit?

I have a 10-week-old puppy that we've had for 2 weeks. He screeches, howls, barks, and cries non-stop through the night when in his crate, even biting at the crate and getting his mouth stuck. He sleeps through the night when on the bed but shows signs of stress in the crate, including a one-time incident of blood in his stool. I'm concerned about the health and well-being of the puppy and want to know if it's harmful to let him sleep in the bed with us and what other options are available to help him sleep peacefully through the night.

My 10 lb Jack Russell terrier / chihuahua mix, Daisy Mae, has been listless for the last 3 days, sleeping a lot, and is now shaking. She is up to date on all her shots, heartworm, and flea meds. She was fine during her last check-up two weeks ago and has been spayed. I gave her Sentinel tab on Tuesday, which she has had before without a reaction. What could be causing her shaking and lethargy?

My dog, Sugarbaby, ate 2 to 3 ounces of dark chocolate and vomited within half an hour. She is 4 years old and weighs between 6 and 7 pounds. What should I do and can I feed her?

I have a German Shepherd puppy that initially got sick, recovered, but now my girlfriend's Pomeranian and Chihuahua are sick. The Chihuahua, named Blue, is a rescue and is barely moving, pooping blood, and won't eat or drink. Neither of the first two dogs had any shots, and I don't know about Blue. What should I be aware of and what should the veterinarian know?
