My 9-year-old dog, Sidney, is showing symptoms of shaking, lethargy, difficulty walking, not eating or drinking, a tight stomach, discomfort when lying down, and has been unable to defecate properly since last night. The local vets are closed. What could this be, and what should I do?

My dog, Finn, a 2-year-old 30-pound dog, ate a bunch of orange chicken without bones about 20 minutes ago. He is otherwise acting well and is fairly healthy, though he has had stomach issues in the past. What should I do?

My 2-year-old dog, Moose, has vomited more than four times today. The vomit initially contained food but now is mostly liquidy with some foam. He has been drinking a lot of water and his urine is very acidic, affecting the grass. He has had gastrointestinal symptoms like this before but never went to a vet. He is late on his shots and I'm unsure if he ate anything unusual or toxic. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Albert, has not been eating much for the last few days, has not wanted to play with his toys, and recently coughed up something. He might have been overheated during a walk and possibly got stung by something, causing a small bump on his nose that has since disappeared but his face looks a little puffy/swollen. He did eat a little yesterday but required hand-feeding or peanut butter to entice him. He also seems more tired than usual and only interested in playing at night. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do to help him?

Our two dogs, both 9 months old and weighing 18 and 13 pounds respectively, got into cashew nuts and have been experiencing vomiting and diarrhea for about 12 hours. What should we do to help them recover?
