I recently adopted a Swiss Shepherd named Bella who was found in a busy highway and had been living with a student who couldn't keep her. She's very skittish but is warming up to me. I'm still grieving the loss of my previous dog, Doc. I also read online that dogs can spread cancer to each other, which doesn't make sense to me. Can you clarify this and provide any advice on helping Bella adjust to her new home?

My dog, Sammy, a 17-year-old house-bound dog, has had diarrhea for the past 2-3 days. It's watery and foul-smelling, and I've tried fasting him and giving him small amounts of pumpkin, scrambled eggs, and his dog food, but the diarrhea persists. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

I have a dog named Cookie, a 5-year-old Akita, who has been throwing up mucus for a couple of days, which has worsened recently. She has stopped eating, only had a few sips of water, and has no energy. She is up-to-date on vaccines but not spayed. What should I do?
