My small dog, Lucky La Rue, is not feeling well, laying around the house, has a warm nose, eats grass, and vomits black. He also got into the trash recently. What should I do to help him feel better?

I volunteer at a dog rescue in Mexico. One of the puppies had a severe reaction after his second distemper vaccine, including salivation, pale mucus membranes, lethargy, and a temperature drop. We administered Diphenhydramine and he recovered. He is due for his third vaccine. What are the chances of a similar or worse reaction, and should we premedicate him before administering the vaccine?

My dog Cody, a 45 lb 9-year-old Brittany, ate Happy Frog organic fertilizer. Should I induce vomiting? He seems fine.

We purchased a puppy named Ransom from a breeder in PA and live in UT. Two days after getting him, he was diagnosed with coccidia and giardia. He was treated with a yellow medicine for 10 days and Panacur for 5 days, but the coccidia cleared up while the giardia persisted. He was retested and is now on another 7 days of Panacur, but his stools are still loose. What additional steps can be taken to treat the giardia and improve his stool consistency?
