My mom and her 1-year-old pup ran away and were found after a week. The pup has gas and keeps rubbing her butt on the floor. Are there any treatments I should give them since they’ve been out in the woods and probably eating and drinking everything?

My 10-year-old male Golden Retriever, Charlie, has been having diarrhea on and off since Saturday evening. He ate a pair of underwear and passed them on Sunday, but his poop has been soft and now watery again with urgency to go outside. He has a history of pancreatitis and is on a special low-fat GI food. What could be causing his diarrhea, and should I be concerned about another pancreatitis flare-up or a foreign body ingestion?

My 13-year-old Cavapoo has been coughing 2-3 times per day for 6 months, which the vet diagnosed as fluid around the heart. The vet prescribed Pimobendan 2.5 mg every twelve hours, and the coughing has improved. Is this a proper treatment plan considering her age, and what should I monitor for any changes?

My dog had her first dose of ondansetron this morning and within an hour experienced fecal incontinence that has continued for several hours. How long does this drug last, and when would it be completely cleared from her system?
