My 15-year-old, 15-pound male dog, Lucky, has had diarrhea for 15 to 18 hours. He was given pumpkin nuggets the day before. He has a history of a broken right pelvis from being hit by a truck, and he takes heartworm and flea/tick medication monthly. What can be done to help him feel better?

My dog, Waylon, a 3-year-old 75-pound dog, swallowed a rib bone whole yesterday afternoon at 5pm. He has been sluggish, lethargic, and refusing food or treats since then. He has also been pooping liquid blood. Should I take him to a 24/7 emergency vet?

My dog, Bean, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting since Tuesday evening. The diarrhea has continued frequently, and she has vomited twice since then, once on Friday and once now. She is still drinking and behaving normally, but eats minimally on a bland diet. The vomit initially was foamy, but now contains the food she ate and little liquid. The diarrhea is orangish brown and has lessened in amount but not frequency. Could she have eaten something unusual in the yard? What should I do to help her recover?

My dog, Jack, a 3-year-old Yorkie weighing 4 lbs, vomited and had diarrhea on Thursday evening, possibly due to eating cashews. He was doing better yesterday but is now lethargic and shaking. He ate dry dog food last night. What could be causing his current state and what should I do?
