My dog, Charlie, a 13-year-old male Papillon, has been experiencing fever, trembling, and appears to be in pain, especially in his lower back. He had similar symptoms a few days ago after pooping, but seemed better for a while. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do to help him?

My 9-year-old teacup Maltese, Buddy, last night started continually walking around and stretching, mostly with front paws stretched out in front and rear still upright, like a bow down. He didn't want to be held and would only stay still for short periods before repeating the stretch. This behavior lasted about five or six hours with frequent outdoor visits but very little feces. Eventually, he settled about five hours overnight and appears reasonably ok now. Should I arrange a vet visit or could it have been more of a one-off?

My half Yorkshire half Chihuahua, Bitsy, is acting unusually anxious, won't eat or drink, and has big, fuzzy, gray eyes. She won't let me touch her and seems paranoid. What could be wrong and what should I do?
