My 10-year-old ex-racing greyhound, Tess, has had diarrhea since Saturday night. The stools were initially watery, now they are yellow mush with mucus. There have been no major dietary changes, and the onset was sudden. She visited kennels where ex-racers are kept, but none of them are sick. How should I proceed?

My 15-month-old Chihuahua Rat Terrier mix, Baby, is coughing and having respiratory issues, and has also had a small amount of blood in her stool. What can I do at home to help her until I can get her to a vet?

We have a 14-year-old standard poodle named Finnley. She has been experiencing excessive sneezing, the development of cysts (one of which exploded), an open wound on her tail that won't heal, strange breathing, stiffness when laying down, and discharge from her eyes. The vet suspects a tumor in her nasal cavity but does not recommend extensive tests due to her age. What can be done to keep her comfortable without subjecting her to numerous tests?
