My 2-month-old puppy, Haka, is fighting distemper after surviving parvo. He has good and bad days, with good days being active and eating well, and bad days where he stops eating and drinking, requiring drips at the clinic. Recently, his appetite has decreased again, and I have to force-feed him with a needleless syringe. However, he has become stressed and aggressive, growling and trying to bite when I try to pick him up. How can I reduce his stress and biting while still having to force-feed him? Additionally, his symptoms of distemper have fluctuated, with mucus thickening and sometimes blocking his nose, requiring nebulization. What can be done to manage his condition and improve his appetite?

My dog, Osiris, a 7-year-old weighing around 20 pounds, has been throwing up twice, with mostly brown vomit but a small amount with a pink color. He has been feeling unwell since the afternoon, experiencing gas, refusing dinner, and looking uncomfortable. He is also making squilling noises when moving and has a tender abdomen. His breathing is faster than normal, and he is making cry noises. There is a lot of movement sounds in his belly, and he is farting a lot with a horrible smell. Is this a sign of a belly issue or something more serious?

One of my dogs ate a used K-Cup, and I'm concerned about potential poisoning or blockage. What should I do, and is there any immediate action needed?

Our chihuahua, Churro, has an open wound just under his anus. The wound has a brown discharge and has been bleeding. Churro has been restless, his tail is tucked, and there is a smell. His stool is softer than normal. What could be the cause of the wound, and what is the recommended course of action?

My dog, Ginger, a rescue around 10-11 years old, has been lethargic, not eating, vomiting, and showing little interest in her favorite treats. She had her rabies shot on August 25th. She first vomited on Saturday and was coughing on Friday. She has been eating her chewy teeth treats and has free access to a fenced backyard. What should I do?

My six-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier died very suddenly last night. He was fine when he went to bed, but at 2 am, I heard him whimpering and found him lethargic. He stopped breathing shortly after arriving at the emergency vet, who found no brain activity. They didn't offer a clear reason for his death. What could have caused his sudden death?
