My 13-year-old dog, Sioux, is bloated and hasn't gone to the bathroom since Friday when she had diarrhea. She hasn't been walking and is just lying down. The vet mentioned a possible splenic tumor that could rupture, suggesting euthanasia. What could be causing her bloating and lack of bowel movement, and what should I do next?

My dog, Missy, has been having dry heaves for a few days. She was still eating but not yesterday. Her breathing sounds normal, but she has these spells about every 5 minutes and saliva has begun drooling from her mouth. She's about 5 years old and was a stray before I retrieved her from a shelter. The shelter had used a choker type leash on her, and someone suggested her larynx may have been bruised. What could be causing her dry heaves and what can I do to help her?

My 9-year-old Chihuahua named Runt has been experiencing blood in her stool, now just pure blood, since yesterday. She is drinking normally and has not eaten anything unusual. She weighs around 10 lbs and has typical Chihuahua energy levels. I inherited her when my dad died in June, so I don't know about her past medical history, but she is not on any medications or supplements. What should I do?

My dog, Simon, aged 12.5, has been making an intense goose-like sound for 20-60 minutes, followed by an hour or two of rest, and then it starts again. This has been ongoing since New Year's Eve. He is not lethargic, eats and drinks well, and goes potty outside. What could be causing this and what should I do?
