I just adopted my dog four days ago. He passed all his health screening and behavioral tests before we adopted him. Since getting groomed, he has not eaten anything and every time he drinks water, he throws it up. He also seems more tired than usual and has less energy. What could be causing this and what should I do?

For the past couple of weeks, my 7-month-old terrier-bulldog, Queenie, has been waking up once a night with 'reverse sneezing.'

My dog, Rowdy, a 13-year-old Pug-Chihuahua mix, was diagnosed with pancreatitis after eating a rawhide chew with chicken. He is experiencing severe diarrhea with bloody stools, is in pain, and has a lack of appetite and thirst. Despite spending $1,400 on 24-hour care at the veterinary hospital, he is not improving. What additional steps can be taken to help him, and what further diagnostics or treatments might be necessary?
