My dog, Ruger, a 2.5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, ate a small piece of paper towel and two cookies over a week ago. Today, she had watery diarrhea and seemed uninterested in eating until after the episode. She is back to her usual energetic self and shows no signs of pain. What could be causing the diarrhea, and what steps should I take to help her recover?

My dog, Pepino, born on 4/15/2021, has been vomiting, had water stools which have now stopped, and is still energetic. He sometimes eats his own poop. His appetite is good, drinks water normally but vomits it up, and has soft stools. He has lost some weight recently. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My dog, Sol, is 7 years old. He vomited all his food overnight and this morning he didn’t want to eat; all he did was drink water and then started vomiting blood-tinged water with mucus. He seems lethargic, in pain, and has no energy. What should I do?

My dog, Mogo, was neutered today and coughed up some white foam on the drive home. He is breathing normally and was willing to eat when we got home. Could this be due to irritation from the anesthesia or an empty stomach from fasting and medication?

My dog, Remi, a 4-year-old French Bulldog, has been experiencing exhaustion, watery eyes, a clear runny nose, labored breathing at night due to congestion, and pale yellow discharge. She had been at boarding for a week before these symptoms appeared. What could be causing these symptoms and is there anything I can do to help her breathe better in the meantime?

My 13-year-old dog, Oscar, has been losing weight (10.8 to 9.8 kg over a few days) and has dark, loose stools. He is eating and drinking a lot but still losing weight. We believe he has internal bleeding. His blood work shows a low red cell count and hemoglobin of 90, with an MCV of 38.4. Do you think he needs immediate medical attention, and what could be the potential causes and treatments for his condition?
