My dog ate roughly 12 pieces of Orbit brand gum. Since then, she has had a bowel movement or two but hasn't eaten much. She's not acting lethargic, she's playing and running, and still drinking water. What should I do?

Our 6-year-old female boxer, Ava, has been unwell for a month. She refuses to eat her normal food and even boiled chicken and rice. She has lost 10 pounds, is listless, has her head down, and her body is hunched over. Blood work and x-rays from our vet showed no issues, but the vet suggested an ultrasound and possibly exploratory surgery, which we are against. Ava vomits occasionally, mainly water, and drinks more than usual. Her gums and teeth look good. What could be causing her condition, and what non-invasive steps can we take to help her?

I have a very fearful dog. She is fine in the house and yard, but when she goes for a walk, she is very nervous and does not focus on me. She does not want any treats and just looks all around. I want her to be more relaxed. I tried Rescue Remedy and a DAP collar. She was also on Prozac and Clomicalm, but the Prozac made her sick, and the Clomicalm made no difference. Is there any medication I can suggest to my vet to try?
