My Westie was vomiting clear mucus for about 4 hours yesterday and was lethargic. He then lost control of his left hind leg and was dragging himself across the room. I gave him an anti-inflammatory that was previously prescribed when his front leg was bothering him. He slept and then was able to walk. He ate some turkey with his dry food and threw that up a few hours later. I had to wake him up this morning; he slept all night without moving at all, which is not usual for him. I got back from church and he had diarrhea that was very dark and very pungent. I found him sound asleep in the bathroom. He is on lasix and vetmedin for an enlarged heart and has a collapsed trachea. This has been going on for about 4 years. He is about 15 or 16 years old. My vet will be available tomorrow morning. Does he need to be seen by an emergency facility or can I wait until the morning as she has all of his tests and records? Also, can you tell me what might be happening? The anti-inflammatory says on the bottle to discontinue if it causes diarrhea.

My dog has diarrhea and is passing long, jelly-like, intact strings that look like worms. I wormed her yesterday with Canikur Pro Paste, but she is still having loose stools. Could this be worms, and if so, what type?

I'm living with a friend who has working kelpie puppies that might have worms due to their fat bellies. How long will the puppies be okay if not treated for worms, and what signs should I watch for to determine if they need immediate attention?

Is there any treatment for rubber jaw in our 10-year-old Sheltie, who has developed this due to renal problems? She is lethargic, unable to eat, and has difficulty walking. Her eyes are bright, and her ears prick up when spoken to. What can we do?
