I have an 8-year-old Pitbull named Zeus who is not wanting to eat or drink, acts like he's about to vomit with continuous licking, and shivers while sleeping. He hasn't had immunizations in a few years, was digging and tearing up roots from an old tree, and ate cat food. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Meisha, ate approximately 70 melatonin gummies (each 2.5 mg) about 5 hours ago. She is 40 lbs and 14 years old. There is no xylitol in the ingredients, and she is acting normally, eating, drinking, and walking. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should monitor or do?

My 6-year-old Bull Terrier-Dalmatian mix, Lucy, has excessive ear discharge in one floppy ear, which has bothered her before. Is it okay to use a 50/50 mixture of apple-cider vinegar and water to clean and dry up her ears, and what other steps should I take to manage this issue until I can take her to a veterinarian?

My 4-year-old Shih Tzu just had pyometra surgery and is bleeding slightly from the incision. She also wants to walk around and is not eating. How should we manage her post-surgery care, including giving her medication and preventing her from licking her stitches?

My 11-year-old Goldendoodle, Asbury, has had diarrhea for 6 days, which has improved slightly but remains liquid and yellowish in color with no blood or mucus. She vomited once two days ago after eating a slice of pizza covered in ants. She weighs around 50 lbs, has a mild murmur, arthritis, and mild hypothyroidism. She is currently on thyroid medication but hasn't had it in a day or two. She has been on a bland diet of chicken, rice, and a little bit of egg for the past few days and is still very active.
