My 2.5-year-old miniature dachshund, Riza, had one episode of vomiting followed by dry heaving and loud crying, indicating pain. She seemed to put her head into the wall during this episode. She pooped without issue and her stool contained nuts and possibly unchewed chicken. She is less active but shows no abdominal tenderness. She did not eat dinner and is not acting hungry. She had pancreatitis last August. Should she be evaluated by a vet sooner than the scheduled appointment on 5/26?

My 2.5-month-old puppy, Teddy, threw up twice yesterday, doesn't want to eat or play, and seems more tired than usual. He threw up a string of spaghetti yesterday and had diarrhea in the afternoon. He hasn't pooped since then. What should I do?

My 11-month-old American Bully ate all the banana peels I left on the table. Should I call the vet because the peels could cause an intestinal blockage? What should I do to monitor his condition and what signs should I look out for?

My 13-year-old dog, Peter, has had red blood in his stool starting at 9:00pm CST. His bowel movements are soft and somewhat runny but not diarrhea. He is eating, drinking, and energetic as usual. He hasn't eaten anything unusual, and I'm not aware of any stressors. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Accidentally gave my dog, Kayden, an extra 10mg dose of prednisone (prescribed for an adrenal mass) in the evening instead of just the 10mg in the morning. What should I do? Is it okay to resume normal dosing tomorrow morning, or should I skip a dose?

My dog, Nutella, a spayed female Lab mix, suddenly had difficulty moving and was shaking on Tuesday. She couldn't get up on the bed or the couch and was lethargic. She had an accident in the house for the first time in 10 years and was less interested in food and water. She had normal bloodwork in January except for a mention of a fatty liver. What could be wrong and what should I do?
