My new Chihuahua puppy, born 12/27/2020, had a mild concussion on February 23/2021. She jumped off my lap today and hit her head again. Should I worry about another concussion? She did not bleed from either injury, is very active, not afraid of anything, and very smart. She lives with 3 other older Chihuahuas, one Cockapoo, and a cat.

My two dogs, both weighing 60 pounds, have been experiencing upset stomachs. We gave them Pepto Bismol and switched their diet to lean hamburger and rice. They are now eating rice and chicken, but they haven't pooped in 36 hours. They seem perky and want to play, but I'm worried about their lack of bowel movements. What should I do?

Our 61 lb English Lab, Tanner, ate a lot of dog food and is now bloated and dry heaving. He got sick a little but is now only sitting up. He drank some water and had a bowel movement 30 minutes ago. This happened 3.5-4 hours ago. Any advice for tonight? He has a vet appointment tomorrow at 8:30am.
