My dog is lethargic, has not pooped, has sluggish bowel sounds, a heart rate of 120-130, and is drinking more than usual. He did not eat his dinner and is usually very food-focused. I gave him pumpkin purée last night. Should I take him to the vet, and can I give him a laxative if needed?

My 9-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, Sam, has had diarrhea since Friday, followed by lethargy and a bloated belly. He has a history of clostridium overgrowth and is on metronidazole and a daily fiber supplement. He had regular bowel movements yesterday and today but remains lethargic and his belly is bloated. He didn't finish his breakfast and is generally less interested in food. What should I do for him, and should I take him to an ER vet?

My 4-month-old dog, Nugget, has been vomiting, initially with food and now with yellow stuff, and has also had bloody diarrhea. My wife recently changed his dog food. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 120lb Great Dane, Salem, ate some homemade castile soap containing cinnamon, lye, and olive oil. He chewed up a bar the size of a whiskey ice cube and consumed perhaps a fourth of that. Should I be worried?

A big dog bit my dog, Shakira, who is 8 years old. Initially, she was lethargic and didn't move, and now she cries when moved. There are no visible wounds. What should I do?

My 16-year-old dog still eats and drinks regularly, is energetic at times, and can walk normally, but has slowed down significantly this year, is losing weight, has severe osteoarthritis, frequent seizures, periodontitis, hearing loss, and cataracts. Despite these issues, he still acts relatively normal. Is it time to consider euthanasia?
