My 5-month-old puppy ate another dog's diarrhea at the park. I was able to remove most of it from his mouth. What should be the next step in his care?

My 11-week-old puppy, Stella, has had diarrhea for two days since receiving multiple vaccines at the vet. She is acting normal, eating, and drinking, but the diarrhea is frequent, especially at night. She recently went to the vet and was given a clean bill of health with no parasites or problems noted in her stool sample. What could be causing the diarrhea and what can I do to help her?

I have a six-year-old Havanese who has been acting strangely for two days, including heavy breathing, panting, and a warm nose and ears, indicating a fever. What can I do to treat her fever and what could be causing her symptoms?

I have a 13-year-old German Shepherd who recently experienced sudden onset vestibular disease symptoms. She has improved by about 50%, but the vet suspects a spleen tumor that may have metastasized to her brain. All bloodwork is normal, and she is eating but only certain foods. Is it possible that this is just 'old dog vestibular'? Why has her appetite changed, and will it improve? Should we still proceed with the ultrasound despite her improvement?

My Cavalier spaniel, Zelda, ate a 3-4 inch pork rib bone whole about 5 minutes ago. She weighs about 25 pounds and is 13 months old. She seems fine and has not shown any distress. What should I do at home to help her pass the bone safely?
