My dog, Kiki, is around 14 years old and has been experiencing a lack of appetite, difficulty getting her back legs up, heavy breathing, and vomiting five times yesterday. She also has a bad hip and a torn ligament. She ate one of my ankle socks and threw up several times before it came out. Today, she managed to get up once to go outside and pee but needed help. What can be done to help her at home and what might be causing these symptoms?

My 20 lb dog ate 2 200 mg ibuprofen gel caps, totaling 400 mg. I'm not sure which of my two dogs ate them, but they are missing from the spot I left them. What should I do, and why did my vet defer to poison control instead of handling it themselves?

I have a litter of puppies that are a week old and experiencing diarrhea. None of the puppies ate anything unusual, and they are nursing from their mom except for one with a cleft lip, which I am tube-feeding. What could be causing the diarrhea, and what should I do?

My 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Rupaw, has diarrhea and is lethargic since this afternoon. She has been eating Minow treats and may have ingested something unusual from the city environment. She recently ate a silicone lick pad and threw up a lot of it. She has not vomited since then until today. What should I do?

My French Bulldog, Cash, who is 3 years old, doesn't want to come out of his cage for the first time this morning. He hasn't eaten, and his breathing pattern is different. Should I be worried and go to a vet?

My 16-year-old Pomeranian mix, Dewy, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting for several days. He has already been on probiotics and antibiotics, but the symptoms persist. He has also vomited the prescribed food and a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. I'm concerned about what to feed him and how to manage his condition, especially since I cannot take him to the vet immediately due to my work commitments. What should I do for him now and what steps should I take for his long-term care?
