My 14-year-old lab, who has arthritis, suddenly stopped eating and only wants to drink water. He appears sad, has a cold and dry nose, and was panting heavily earlier but now seems to be breathing louder. He also seems to be in pain and has a slightly bloated stomach. He had an accident and pooped in the house, which was not hard or diarrhea. What can I do for him until I can take him to the vet in the morning?

My dog, Jill, has swollen gums and periodontal issues. She is 10 years old and has a heart murmur, which prevents her from undergoing dental sedation. What can be done to address her dental problems without sedation?

My dog, Sitka, a 5-year-old pit bull, was fine this morning but started vomiting clear fluid with a light pink tinge, followed by white foam and then blood. She is drinking a lot of water, has her tail between her legs, is shivering, and her belly is cold. She also started wheezing. What should I do?

My dog, Hank, has diarrhea and has thrown up a few times. He seems to be straining when he poops, and there are small drops of blood and mucus-like brown discharge. He also scoots his butt on the ground as if it itches. I gave him a rawhide bone recently, and he gets stressed when I leave. What should I do?
