My 13-year-old dog, Rufus, a black lab mix, is having trouble moving, especially getting up, and is in apparent pain. He hasn't been eating much but has been drinking. He's too heavy for me to transport to a vet, and I can't find a mobile vet near me other than a euthanizing service. What can I do to help him, and is it too early to consider euthanasia?

My dog ate about 14 oz of Oreo cookies. He weighs 50 lbs, vomited earlier today, and is currently acting normally. Should I be concerned about any potential health issues?

My 6-month-old dog, Koda, has had diarrhea for 3 days. He sometimes eats grass but hasn't eaten anything unusual recently. He is not vomiting, weighs 60 pounds, has no underlying medical problems, and is not on any medications. What should I do to help him?

My 6-year-old Pekingese Poodle mix has been diagnosed with crystals in her urine, which the vet says requires surgery costing $5000, which I cannot afford. Are there any alternative treatments that are less expensive? She sometimes seems to be in pain, has blood in her urine, and difficulty pooping. The vet mentioned that surgery is the only treatment option.

My Zuchon, Maggie, ate one grape last night and has been throwing up for the last few hours. She is 16 lbs and a little over a year old. She has no known health issues, but she has been laying around more than normal and didn't eat her food this morning, though she did eat a couple of treats. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

My dog, Hope, a rescue Rat Terrier approximately 8 years old, has been experiencing gastroenteritis off and on since April. She has been mopey and lethargic, with intermittent vomiting, no appetite since last night, and has been drinking water. She has passed very little feces, which is black and tarry, and appears to have blood in it. She has also had unusual house soiling, squatting 4-5 times today. What should I do?
