My 9-year-old dog, Abby, has not had a bowel movement in two days, despite straining to do so. She threw up her breakfast this morning and passed a small amount of runny black stool after straining. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 16-pound Pekingese that is 2 years old. We were walking on a sidewalk under Japanese cherry trees, and he ate something off the ground, possibly cherry blossoms, which could be toxic. He ate it about an hour and a half ago and seems fine so far. How much did the Pekingese eat? Has he vomited? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

My dog, Max, is extremely anxious, especially with loud noises and strong winds. I've tried soothing him, petting him, and going outside with him, but nothing is working. Can I give him Benadryl, and if so, what dosage should I use? Are there any other supplements or methods that might help with his anxiety?

My dog Gigi, a 17 lb Pomeranian mix, has been refusing food for 36 hours, experiencing diarrhea, and vomiting at least four times. She is lethargic but shows no obvious pain. What can I do to help her until I can see a vet tomorrow?
