My dog is having clear watery diarrhea and is throwing up a lot of clear watery stuff and doesn't want to eat. Should I be really worried? She got sick after going to the dog park and we don't have the money to take her to the emergency vet. Will she be okay until we can take her to our regular vet?

My dog is on phenobarbital for seizures, getting 1 1/2 tabs every 12 hours. The pharmacy made an error, and I only have enough pills to last until Sunday morning. This means he will miss his Sunday evening dose and get his Monday morning dose 2 hours late. Should I try to split the remaining pills or wait until I can get a refill from the vet on Monday morning?

I have a rescued Wheaten Terrier named Teddy, estimated to be 10 years old. He was found starving and initially accepted good quality dry and canned dog food, but now refuses both. He sometimes eats boiled chicken breasts. Teddy is currently taking antibiotics for gingivitis, but the food issues started before this treatment. What advice can you provide?

My dog, Eddie, a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, was hit in the eye by a tennis ball during a game of fetch. Now, the injured eye has a pinpoint pupil, he's mopey, and squinting in that eye, but there's no obvious blood, obstruction, or swelling around the eyelid. What should I monitor for, and when should I seek emergency veterinary care?

My dog, Nemo, had neutering surgery one week ago. The incision is dry and intact, but he has a severe scrotal hematoma, pain, and lethargy. What could be causing this, and is it a common post-operative complication?
