My 9.5-year-old Maltese, Jaxson, has been randomly yelping/crying out of nowhere, especially when moving or changing positions. He has been shaking slightly and seems to be in pain during these episodes. He is walking and using the bathroom fine, but has had a decreased appetite. He has been given Rimadyl, which seems to help, and has started CBD calming treats recently. What could be causing his sudden pain and what should I do?

My daughter's dog, a 6-year-old pit mix weighing 65 lbs, had access to eucalyptus leaves on the floor. I quickly removed them, but she was licking them. I'm not sure if she ingested any leaves. What should I look for in terms of symptoms, and what would the timeframe be for any potential reaction?

My 9-week-old puppy, Ollie, a beagle, is pooping frequently with unformed stools. I've had him for a week, and he finished his heartworm medication last Tuesday. He eats well and has started his vaccines. Is this normal, and what should I do?

My miniature schnauzer, Bo, ate a whole avocado (not the pit) and vomited twice. She weighs 16 lbs and vomited just 10 minutes ago, though she ate the avocado hours earlier. What should I do to manage her condition and ensure she doesn't become dehydrated?

My 10-year-old Mini Schnauzer, Peggy, has been avoiding putting pressure on one of her hind legs for 3 weeks. She mainly hops on three limbs unless she sees another dog, in which case she runs and jumps around normally for a few seconds. She is eating a little less and can move around easily on three legs, including up and down stairs. The vet couldn't find anything obvious during the last visit and suggested an X-ray as the next step. What could be causing this issue and what should I do next?
