My dog, a five-month-old mini Aussie doodle weighing about 20 pounds, has been experiencing frequent, bloody diarrhea since this morning. She has vomited once, and while she is not acting weak, she struggles when trying to defecate. Should I take her to an emergency vet?

My dog, Harlie, a mixed breed (American staff terrier and sharpei) aged 8, has vomited 5 times over the last 10 hours, had one hard stool, and is refusing her usual boiled chicken and white rice. She seems more tired than usual and her stomach feels bloated but she doesn't seem to be in pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 7-year-old pug, Pickles, has been having diarrhea for the past few days and was vomiting a few days prior. The vomit contained food, and the diarrhea was liquid, brown, and had pieces in it. Pickles has been eating fine and recently had a check-up. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help her?

My 2-year-old 60-pound dog, Larry, has been compulsively licking and swallowing, and seems very anxious. He ate his normal dinner at 5pm EST and has not vomited since. He has been drinking normally and his stools are normal. What could be causing his behavior, and what should I do?
