My 14-year-old chihuahua mix, Smidgee, has stopped eating and drinking, and when forced to drink or eat, she throws up. She is also trying to urinate but only dribbles, and her belly is distended with shallow breathing. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

Our 20-pound, seven-and-a-half-year-old Golden Doodle, Brandy, jumped down three steps and seems to have hurt her front left upper arm. She can walk on it but limits heavily and whimpers when the upper part of the leg is squeezed. We suspect it might be a pulled ligament or tendon. The leg does not seem to be broken or displaced, but could have a small fracture. What should we do and what symptoms should we look out for?

My dog ate a bag of my vitamins. He ate 6 zinc tablets (50mg each) and 6 Vitamin D tablets (125mcg each). The dog weighs about 60 pounds and is around 3 and a half years old. I didn't see him eat them, but the bag was on the floor and is now empty. How serious is this ingestion?
