My Husky mix, Indie, has been less playful and has a decreased appetite over the past two days, with today resulting in vomiting and softer stools. She has recently had new treats. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to help her?

Our 4-month-old puppy, Gryffin, has been eating a towel and passing it in his stools. He is not vomiting, pooping normally, has an appetite, and is drinking lots of water. He was recently at the vet and was deemed normal. What should we do about the towel consumption and should we monitor him for any symptoms?

My French Bulldog, Dave, has stopped jumping up and doesn't seem to be in pain. He will let me examine him but just won't jump. This has been a concern for the past 12 hours. He is not on any medication and is 3 years old. What could be causing this and what should I do?
