My dog, River, an 11-month-old, has not eaten in a week after possibly eating sheetrock. He spent a night at the vet, where an x-ray showed the object moving. He is less active than usual, tender when his belly is pressed, and has been prescribed Flagyl and carafate but struggles to keep the medication down. He occasionally eats a spoonful of canned food but has shown no interest in other food options. What should be done to help him recover?

My 3-month-old puppy, Junior, weighing 10 lbs, accidentally ingested 200 mg of Advil 5 hours ago. He hasn't vomited and seems fine. Should I take him to the vet, and what should I do in the meantime?

My dog, Callie, is panting and shaking as if she's overheated but won't drink. She's a 1-year-old dog who eats a lot but doesn't gain weight and is very hyper. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?

My dog, a 20-pound Chihuahua mix named Pugsley who is 7 years old and overweight, ate a used tampon about 10-15 minutes ago. He has not vomited since then. What should I do, and how long should I expect it to take for him to pass the item?

Can you suggest a remedy for diarrhea in my dog, Max, a 7-year-old poodle mix, that doesn’t involve a trip to a vet? He has had diarrhea for 3 days, is eating chicken and rice soup, and has been drinking water. He recently had a few ham scraps, but nothing else unusual.
