My dog, Ozzy, has been vomiting every half hour for the last few hours. He threw up a few times last night but not during the day. The vomit is now a light yellow color with foam and is very liquidy. He has shown no interest in food or water. He may have eaten a small piece of garbage or part of a toy. What should I do until I can get him to a vet in the morning?

My dog, Oliver, a 5-year-old 60-pound dog, ate a Brillo pad about 34 hours ago. Since then, he has had one silvery poop and has been vomiting. The vet recommends emergency surgery, but we are skeptical of this vet practice as they previously suggested unnecessary surgery. Some websites say the pad will pass, while others say surgery is necessary. What should we do?

My dog has stopped eating, is lethargic, has liquid coming out of her anal area which she licks up, drinks lots of water, and still wants to go on walks. She seems depressed but not in pain. What should I do?

My mom's dog, Ernie, is not eating, very lethargic, and has an infected area on his side and foot. He's not drinking water but is being given ice. What can be done to help him, especially since my mom is in another state and doesn't have money or help?

My dog, Skip, a 12-year-old miniature poodle, is coughing a lot one week after being sprayed by a skunk. His brother, Lito, is also coughing but less frequently. I've been giving them 2.5 mL of children's Delsym cough syrup every 12 hours. What could be causing the coughing and what can I do to ease Skip's suffering in the meantime?

My 10-month-old standard poodle, Nova, started having diarrhea and farting a lot after being picked up from the groomers. She is still active and playful, but her poop is very loose and watery. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?
