My 5-month-old Yorkie, Marley, has been constipated for about a week. His bowel movements are hard, dry, and white, and he cries while trying to pass them. He also has diarrhea once and is constantly licking himself. He has been eating less but showed improvement with wet food this morning. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My dog, Blossom, a 1 1/2-year-old Beagle Sheltie mix, started shaking uncontrollably about 10 minutes ago. She had drool, her front legs gave out when she tried to walk, and she ran in circles. She’s now calmed down but still shakes when she tries to stand and panics when I leave the room. She also got into the trash last night. What could be causing this and what should I do?
