Our dog, Atlas, a Doberman and Labrador mix, has been vomiting and lethargic for about 3 days, with a decrease in appetite over the past week. Despite lab work and X-rays, the cause remains unknown. He cannot keep food or water down and is very low in energy. What can we do at home, and is there a way to administer IV fluids at home to keep him hydrated?

I accidentally gave my 70-pound, 8-year-old diabetic dog named Gretta her other dog's dose of 200mg amantadine. She also took her normal medications, which include carprofen, metoclopramide, omeprazole, and gabapentin, at the same time. She has not eaten yet and has not had her nighttime insulin. What should I do about her insulin and should I be concerned about her diabetes?

My dog, Cocoa, is 9 months old and has a swollen head, drooling, sleeping all day, barely interacting, and her right eye looks lazy. She didn't eat her food today, drinks water as if her head is in pain, has a dry nose, and hasn't had a bowel movement in 2 days. Could she have eaten something unusual, and what could be causing these symptoms?
