My dog, Groot, a 3-year-old Jack Russell Brussels mix, has red spots on his belly that look like amoeba cells. He has been licking his paws and seems to want to reach for his spots.

My dog, Gotti, is experiencing diarrhea and vomiting. His stool has an unusual odor, and he threw up this morning. His diet hasn't changed, but he has been jittery lately. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My dog, Ellie, a 3-year-old, suddenly started limping on her back right leg about 2 hours ago. She was just sleeping in the grass and when I called her inside, she randomly started to limp. There is no history of trauma, her leg is not swollen, and she is otherwise acting perfectly healthy, eating, and drinking normally. What could be causing the limping, and what should I do?

My 9-week-old chihuahua, Andre, is experiencing diarrhea and vomiting. The vomit looks like the food he ate, and I saw a worm in his stool last night before the diarrhea started. He was treated for roundworms twice at 5 and 6 weeks old. He vomited twice and has been around other dogs, but none that are sick. He was last vaccinated almost 2 weeks ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My Lab had some black material in his stool. I noticed this afternoon and he hasn't been eating normally due to the heatwave. What could this black material be and should I be concerned?
