My dog, a 2-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu mix named Mr. Tugs, has been experiencing vomiting, diarrhea with blood, and decreased playfulness. He vomited foamy material and had gel-like diarrhea. He recently ate Thanksgiving scraps, which he doesn't usually have. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 6-year-old English bulldog, Chuck, had all his shots a week ago. Now, when I try to pet him under his chest, he acts like he is going to throw up, but it's not in the same place. He is not eating his dog food but will eat his treats. What could be the issue and what should I do?

I have two 11.5-year-old purebred English Springer Spaniels, Toby and BrettNic, who have been on Purina Pro Plan Turkey for Senior Dogs for over 6 years. Purina has discontinued this food, and I need to switch them to a new food without making them too ill. They sometimes have sensitive stomachs and aggression issues, which we manage by keeping them separated. What new food can I switch them to and how should I transition them to the new food?

My dog, Mazy, who will be 10 in February 2020, is recovering from an ulcer that bled into the stool. The bleeding started before Thanksgiving, and treatment began on November 25th with Sucralfate, Entofloxacin, and Famotidine. On December 2nd, Mirtazapine 7.5 was added once a day. We've tried various foods like fresh chicken, peanut butter, cottage cheese, broth, canned dog food, and pumpkin to encourage eating, but we're still forcing the food as there are no signs of appetite. What else should we know or do?

Is it okay to treat my diabetic dog, Spanky, with honey and vinegar home remedies? He has had diabetes for almost four years, has bladder stones due to a urinary tract infection, is blind, and was recently attacked by another dog, resulting in the use of steroids and muscle relaxers. His peeing has become painful since starting these medications.
