My dog, Adrien, has been experiencing diarrhea that looks like melted chocolate ice cream or chocolate syrup, and vomiting that is orange-brownish and chunky. He has been lethargic since Sunday and has used the bathroom multiple times since 4 am. He weighs around 9-10 lbs and was recently groomed. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 12.5-year-old Yorkie, Willie, has been eating only once a day, losing weight, and showing minor signs of vomiting and diarrhea. He has bumps near his ear and rear end, bad teeth, and mild seizures. What could be causing these issues and what should I do to help him?

My dog, Buddy, a 10-year-old terrier mix, has perirenal fat pads that feel firm and this firmness extends up his back and over his ribs. Is this normal for an older, slightly overweight dog, and could it be related to Cushings disease?

My 5-year-old Golden Retriever, Sam, started having diarrhea last Thursday, followed by vomiting on Saturday. He was taken to the emergency vet, who sent us home with instructions to administer fluids. He has been panting, lethargic, and scared to go outside, especially near the pool. The vomiting has stopped, but he continues to have diarrhea and cannot control it. He has been eating only when food is placed in front of him. He was given Imodium, Prilosec, and metoclopramide, but the diarrhea persists. He has been on a bland diet of boiled meat and rice, and we tried FortiFlora, but it didn't help. What could be causing his symptoms, and what further steps should we take?

My dog, Ford, a 7-year-old, has been experiencing brown discharge from the penis, pain in the hind legs, difficulty with bowel movements, and weight loss over the past 3 weeks. He whimpers when getting off the couch or when his legs are touched near the hip, has lost about 7 pounds in a month, and moves slowly and carefully. He still eats and drinks normally and is not wobbly, but he has a tucked tail. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 14-year-old terrier mix is experiencing rapid eye movements, a stiff/tilted head, lethargy, lack of balance, and has recently lost weight. He had a seizure for the first time last May and may have possibly ingested paint from a bucket in the backyard. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate steps can be taken?
