My 17-year-old dog, Linus, has pancreatitis and is experiencing diarrhea with brown liquid followed by clear water from his anus. He has been drinking water and only vomited once after eating birdseed at the groomer's. How should I manage his condition, and when should I consider it an emergency?

I have a 2-year-old 10-pound miniature schnauzer named Ebony who had her distemper shot this afternoon. Now, she can't jump up on my lap and screamed when I tried to pick her up. Is this normal?

My 13-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix, Charlie, has had runny, frequent loose stools for 4 days. He plays, eats, drinks, and acts fine otherwise, but he's very nervous and jumpy due to a recent move. Could stress be causing his diarrhea, and what else can I do for him?

My 7-year-old Chihuahua, Prince, was given liquid amoxicillin to treat an infection in his teeth. Since starting the medication, he has developed slight bloating. He is still active, eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally. He is also on Temaril P for allergies. What could be causing the bloating and what can I do about it?

My Dachshund, Isabella, is being treated for pancreatitis and has not eaten in three days. She has been in emergency care at two different facilities and is responding well to her medications, but she refuses to eat any food I offer, including boiled chicken, ground beef, rice, and steamed vegetables. How can I get her the nutrition she needs, and should I consider an ultrasound to better understand her condition?

I have a 4-month-old puppy named Dutch who has been having diarrhea. I've been giving him a bland diet of chicken, rice, and yogurt for two days, and the diarrhea seems better. However, he is not drinking water and is urinating frequently, squatting 3-5 times in a five-minute period, which is new behavior. He has been treated twice for giardia in the last month. What could be causing this and what should I do?
