My Golden Retriever puppy, Bear, is unable to hold anything down, including water, and has had blood in his poop. He has also had the runs for a while. We were at the beach recently, and I noticed seaweed in his poop. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My little dog, Peaches, was at the kennel last week and came down sick with explosive diarrhea and vomiting. The vomit initially contained chicken and rice, and she has been unable to keep anything down since Sunday. She is 10 years old, up-to-date on her vaccines, and weighs about 12 lbs. What could be causing her symptoms and what immediate steps can I take to help her?

My 14-year-old Border Collie got into chocolate last night. She had diarrhea and was shaky and agitated. My vet recommended giving her 1 mg of Xanax to combat the toxic effects of the chocolate. She weighs 70 lbs and is now very wobbly when she tries to stand, and her left eye is rolled back, which I've never seen before. What else can I do besides giving her water, and should I give her more Xanax if she's agitated again later?

My dog, Sancho, a 13-year-old miniature pinscher, has been constipated all day, hasn't eaten, and pooped bloody mucus with no stool. He's had an upset stomach on and off for the past two weeks, with occasional constipation and lack of appetite, but no diarrhea. Is this an emergency vet situation, or can I contact my vet tomorrow?
