My dog Winston, a 10-year-old neutered Westie weighing 20 lbs, has been acting disinterested, not eating, sleeping all the time, and now has soft, pencil-like poop. He can't walk the stairs or jump on the bed or chair, and he growls and snaps when touched, which is unusual for him. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog has a rash on her belly and back legs that started a week ago and is getting worse. She has been licking the affected areas and I gave her baby Benadryl, which didn't work. I thought it might be from the grass, but she isn't on any flea/tick prevention. What could be causing the rash and what can I do to help her?

My 8-month-old puppy, Leile, ate a sansevieria plant on Friday and has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting. What can I give her to make her feel better, and should I take her to a vet?

I took my dog for a quick rinse in 63-degree weather, used a blow dryer on low heat to dry her, and now she's inside with the door open. Can she catch a cold? I also used a medicated shampoo that she licked, and I'm worried about her ingesting it. Additionally, she stepped on a wet spot outside, possibly a dead bee or slug, and I'm concerned about her health. I also had to disinfect after my grandma touched raw chicken and didn't wash her hands, and I'm worried about potential contamination. My dog also ate a fly and something off the floor, and I'm unsure if it was safe. She also got into a fight with my cats and was scratched on the nose. I'm also concerned about giving her medicine at the right times and if it's safe to give it slightly earlier or if the ointment I have is still good to use.

My dog, Loki, who is 12 weeks old, won’t eat or drink for about 5 hours. He doesn’t have diarrhea or vomiting, and he doesn’t seem to be in pain. He has all his vaccinations. What should I do?
