My diabetic Chihuahua, Pepe, has been refusing to eat for over a month. He was diagnosed with diabetes a year and a half ago after being treated for heartworm. Despite various tests and treatments, including an ultrasound and checks for ketosis and kidney issues, no significant issues were found. He occasionally vomits, and his stool appears constipated at times. He is currently on insulin and other medications like dosequin, wellactin, and gabapentin, though he often refuses to take the latter. He prefers to eat bread and dog chicken jerky but is not getting adequate nutrients. What could be causing his loss of appetite and what steps can be taken to help him eat better?

My dog ate 3-4 of my 25 mg Losartan tablets. She weighs about 85 pounds and is 6 years old. She seems fine and hasn't thrown up. What should I do?

My puppy, Willie, threw up once and since then has been acting weak, staring off into space, wobbling as if drunk, whining pitifully, and falling over as if too weak to hold his head up. He runs normally when going outside but returns to this state shortly after. He has done this before but not recently. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 20 lb Shih Tzu, Waddles, licked some crystal meth residue off some foil 5 hours ago. He seems to be getting better but is still refusing food and water. What should I do to help him relax and recover?

My 11-month-old nano bully has been experiencing wet, foul-smelling diarrhea and vomiting for the last couple of hours. He hasn't eaten anything unusual and has no history of blood in his stool or vomit. His energy levels are normal, and he hasn't been around unvaccinated dogs. What should I do?
