My 6-year-old dog, Roux, started shivering, became lethargic, and had dilated eyes last night. He vomited several times, including partially digested food and bile. I gave him Pepto-Bismol and have been administering water through a syringe. His gums are pink and refill quickly, and his eyes look better this morning, but he is still lethargic. I suspect he may have eaten sausage from my husband's pizza and possibly a heartworm pill meant for a larger dog. What else can I do at home to help him feel better?

My dog, Angel, a mix of Maltese and Silky Terrier, had diarrhea early in the week which improved after giving her rice water. However, after reintroducing her regular dog food, she had another episode of diarrhea during the night. Could she have developed a sensitivity to her dog food, and what should I do to prevent this from happening again?

My dog, Lilly, a 10-year-old pug, vomited 4-5 times, initially with food and then with yellow foamy vomit. She stopped vomiting 5 hours ago. She was given white rice and a bacon dog treat this morning, and has been in the backyard all day. What could be the issue and what should I do?
