My older Great Dane Lab mix, Jack, who is about 11 years old, has become very lethargic, can't stand up, and is drooling. He wasn't this way yesterday morning but became very lethargic, drooling, and couldn't balance himself when I arrived home. He was having diarrhea yesterday morning and had a foul odor. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Lucky, a 5-year-old Chow Chow, has been making very loud stomach noises, curling up in a ball, and hasn't eaten in 2 days. He had diarrhea last night. Is there anything I can do to help him, and can I give him people medicine like Kaopectate or Pepto Bismol?

Our dog, a Boston Terrier mix (25.5 lbs), ingested some mascara and later showed small bruising. Her platelet count dropped from 152,000 to 38,000. The vet suggests steroids, an X-ray, and a Coag Test. We want to know if the mascara ingestion could have caused the platelet drop and if she really needs the strong steroids or if we should let her body naturally boost her platelet count.

My senior dog, Lucy, has been experiencing gas that smells like ammonia since I started adding a powdered probiotic/digestive enzyme to her food last week. Her skin has been improving, and her bloodwork was normal in 2021. What could be causing this smell, and how long should I stop giving her the probiotic to see if it resolves?
