My 13-year-old Pomeranian, Baxter, has been experiencing a loss of appetite, not drinking, difficulty going to the bathroom, lack of energy, vomiting, and shaking. He seems disoriented and is not allowing us to pick him up. His breathing is heavy and fast, and his nose is dry. He will be okay for a few days and then goes back to being sick. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 7-year-old Brittany, Jebby, threw up yellow foam this morning and has been lethargic, bleary-eyed, and experiencing dry heaves since then. He has vomited several times with white bits in the vomit, possibly from a chew stick. He is still drinking water and eating snow, but wakes up every 30-40 minutes with heaving. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just got a 7-week-old American Pit Bull puppy. She is very active when she wants to play but sleeps most of the day and sometimes refuses to stay awake. She has had intermittent diarrhea and eats less than I think a typical puppy should. I changed her diet from Blue brand to Canine Caviar puppy food and gave her new puppy treats, which I've since stopped. I am concerned if this is just her adapting to the move or if it could be something else. She has not been vaccinated yet due to COVID-related cancellations, and I am unable to get her seen by a vet until March 4th. What should I do?

My 11-year-old dog, Jafare, is having trouble walking, his back is slightly hunched, and he has labored breathing. He eats, drinks, pees, and poops fine when carried outside. He's not wincing or whining in pain, but he's not barking, which is unusual for him. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I noticed hair loss around the vulva of an 8-week-old Rottweiler puppy I'm in the process of adopting. The breeder mentioned the skin is not red but rough. The puppy is not licking or scooting the area, and she has received her shots. What could be causing the hair loss, and is the puppy considered unhealthy?
