My dog, Max, who is 3 years old, has been having water poop for 2 days. He had HGE (Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis) before Christmas. I make his food, which includes rice and hamburger meat. When did the dog last see a vet? Is he taking any medications? Is there anything else the Vet should know about Max?

My 6-year-old Rat Terrier, Sugar, has been restless for 36 hours, turning her tail to one side in pain, crying, and turning on her back to wiggle side to side. She has a good appetite and normal urine. She recently vomited for the first time. What could be causing her pain and restlessness?

My 8.5-year-old lab mix was being treated for low platelets with steroids and Mycophenalate. After a month, his platelets rose to normal, but he started vomiting and refused to eat or drink. He was given anti-nausea medication and additional treatments, but he still won't eat. His liver enzymes were elevated, and he had fresh blood in his diarrhea. What can be done to help him recover and start eating again?

My dog, Otis, has a paint chip in his eye. I just noticed it. He last saw a vet 2 months ago and is up-to-date on his shots. What should I do?

My 2-year-old dog, Joey, vomited bile this morning and refused his breakfast, which included hot dogs. I suspect mild pancreatitis due to the use of hot dogs as training treats. Should I take him to an emergency clinic immediately, or can I fast him for a day and monitor him?

My dog, Max, who is one and a half years old, has been vomiting foam this morning and had diarrhea yesterday. I gave him white rice broth to stop the diarrhea. He also vomited yellow in the morning yesterday but didn't vomit the whole day until this morning. What should I do?
