My 4-year-old lab has lost weight, has diarrhea, and won't eat. It's been a couple of weeks with the weight loss, and his energy is down. He doesn't seem to be in pain, and there are no pre-existing medical conditions or medications. He might have eaten something out of the ordinary, but there's no vomiting. He is drinking water, but it's not clear if it's more than usual. He still wags his tail and seeks attention. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 50-pound mixed breed dog, Luna, ate a brownie made with cocoa powder earlier today. She is having some diarrhea. Would activated charcoal help her?

I was prescribed 0.5ml of Gabapentin for my 3.5lb 3-year-old Chihuahua to help with her anxiety. After giving her 1ml, she showed reactions like tucking her tail in, running away, and head movements. Is this a normal reaction to the medication?

My dog, Lulu, age 7, has been vomiting for about an hour. We recently started switching her food, and she had trazadone during a car ride to the mountains where she refused to poop due to the snow. She has vomited her dinner and continues to vomit white foam and water. No other symptoms like labored breathing or a swollen stomach. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Aria, a 5-year-old Pit bull mix weighing around 85lbs, has had a lot of blood in her feces for the past week. Her stool is also runny and not solid. She doesn't always eat at scheduled meal times, and I'm not aware of her eating anything unusual recently. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Kong, has a hard stomach, hasn't eaten today, is walking funny, has a dry nose, and hasn't moved much today. Is Kong in pain or discomfort? What else should the vet know before I connect with them?
