My 13-year-old Westie, Bentley, has constant diarrhea despite being on a lamb and rice diet for his allergies. He vomited this morning for the first time since the diet change. His energy level is high, and he has had recent bloodwork and a physical with no negative results. He is taking Apoquel tablets daily and gets a cytopoint shot monthly. What should be done to address his diarrhea and vomiting?

Is there a relationship between grain-free dog foods and heart disease? Additionally, I am looking for a grain-friendly diet for my dog, Honey, who is around 7-8 years old, for weight loss and sensitive skin. Honey weighs 69 pounds and has been losing weight. She frequently licks her paws, and treatments like Apoquel and cytopoint have not been effective. What is your opinion on grain-free diets and any recommendations for Honey's diet?

My 5-month-old Schnoodle, Zen, had a Lyme disease and flu shot today around 9am. Now his eyes are very red, itchy, and swollen, and he is sneezing a little and swallowing a lot. Could this be an allergic reaction, and what should I do?

My French Bulldog is experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, green eye discharge, and lethargy. He has been on the BRAT diet and is tolerating it. He had diarrhea earlier in the week but it resolved with Imodium. Now, the symptoms have returned, and he has vomited bile twice. He has eaten a small amount of rice and plain unsweetened apple sauce without further diarrhea or vomiting, but remains lethargic with greenish mucus around his eyes. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, George, was playing at a friend's house and seemed to be fine until another dog lunged at him without making contact. Since then, George has been acting very erratic, scared, shaking, drooling, and unable to settle down. He has been looking around the room constantly, with a pounding heart, and is not sleeping. He has calmed slightly but is still not back to normal. Is there anything unusual he could have eaten, and what should I do?
