My 1.5-year-old Dalmatian, Knox, has been vomiting since 3am. He has eaten pieces of plastic, a packet of chicken stock, and fragments of a watch band. He has vomited every 3 hours, and the last few times it was just water or bile/foam. He still acts like he wants food but hasn't been given any. He has a history of nausea issues resulting in a diagnosis of IBD and low anemia levels, with previous kidney issues that were resolved with special prescription food. What should I do?

My toy rat terrier gave birth to one dead puppy at 12am and it's now 5:30 am with no second puppy. She had a fluid-filled bubble come out at around 2:30 am, but nothing else since. She seems okay, with pinkish gums and able to walk. Should I be worried, and what should I do next?

My dog, Herman, has nasal and throat congestion. Could it be related to his dental issues? He eats and drinks normally, but has been licking his feet or the blanket, which I thought was a comfort behavior. He is a rescue dog, aged 10 to 12 years, and weighs 15 lbs. Is there anything else I should know or do?
