My dad's dog, Minnie, is advanced in age and suffering from renal failure. She's clearly at the end of her life, but we are trying to keep her comfortable and happy. She had been eating Paws dog food and losing weight because she wasn't eating much. About a week ago, we switched her to boiled beef and rice with butter. She started eating a lot more and was perkier for the first few days. However, she's still eating well but is lethargic otherwise. In terms of food, have we cut out needed vitamins? What is she not getting with the beef and rice that she was getting with the dog food? Are there other dietary suggestions or things we could do to make her comfortable?

My Yorkie, Ramona, ingested 10 0.4mg levothyroxine pills from another dog. She weighs 10 lbs and it has been about an hour since she ingested the pills. She hasn't vomited yet. What should I do to help her?

My 10-month-old, 55-pound foster puppy, Roan, ingested half a bottle of Delta-0 450 mg THC-O, which contains full spectrum hemp THC-zero extract, medium chain triglycerides coconut oil, natural flavors, and a terpene blend. He is showing signs of unsteadiness, tremors when lifting his head, and has vomited once. What should I do, and what symptoms should I watch for?

Despite our vet saying that nothing is wrong and our 11-12 pound Yorkie, Binny, is well, he has been having more frequent diarrhea and vomiting of bile and foam. Our vet put him on Pepcid, but he is still demonstrating the same symptoms, particularly the diarrhea. He has been eating a lot of grass lately, which is in the vomit and the poop. We are also concerned because our gardener planted some pulmonaria, which is toxic to dogs, but Binny has not eaten any of that. He goes from eating heartily to not touching his food for an entire day. What could be causing these symptoms and what can we do to help him?

My goldendoodle, Remi, who is 2 years old, has swollen lips that I just noticed. His breathing is normal, and he's acting normally, but he's laying down a lot. He didn't eat anything unusual, but I found an ant pile in my yard where he might have stuck his nose. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?
