My 6-year-old labradoodle, Belle, is lethargic today after a 2-mile walk. She has eaten less than usual, made smacking motions with her mouth, and is generally more sleepy than usual. She has not vomited and weighs about 52 pounds. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Lucy, a 4-year-old Boston Terrier weighing 18 lbs, ate approximately 10 chocolate chip cookies about 3.5 hours ago. The cookies were about 2 inches in diameter and contained milk chocolate chips. She has shown no signs of illness and has not vomited. What should I do?

My 6-year-old 8-pound Chihuahua mix, Mimi, has been lethargic since yesterday afternoon. She had one diarrhea and one normal poo yesterday evening, tried to throw up in the middle of the night but only a little bit of spit came out, and has not eaten or drunk much since then. She has not pooped or peed yet this morning. What could be wrong with her, and should I be concerned about her possibly ingesting something?

My daughter-in-law rescued a dog that appears to be part Pitt and part Rottweiler. The dog is very thin, has been left outside without proper care, and now experiences explosive diarrhea and vomiting when it eats. What can be done to help the dog recover?
