A 6-8 month old puppy, part Shepherd and Rhodesian Ridgeback, has been vomiting since this morning and isn't holding anything down after being given omeprazole. The owner found a chewed-up pool noodle in the backyard and is unsure if it's the cause. What should be done to help the puppy, and how can they identify if there's a blockage?

My 9-pound, 5-month-old Miniature Schnauzer named Luna ate a piece of random kibble she found on the ground. I tried to induce vomiting with my finger but she didn't throw up. She has been gulping, licking her lips, and seemed a little raspy this morning but is otherwise acting normal. I'm concerned I might have hurt her esophagus. What should I do?

My 14-year-old dog, Sugar, has been coughing non-stop and very loudly all night. She has a heart issue with a leaky valve diagnosed over a year ago. Her cough is dry and nonproductive. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Two of the three dogs started with diarrhea at 1 a.m. and it has lasted off and on for the past eight hours, with one of them also vomiting. The youngest was running around and acting normal, while the older one was more cautious. I'm dogsitting for my daughter for two weeks. What could be causing this and what should I do to help them recover?
