My Rat Terrier dog, Laylah, ate a couple of grapes last night and has been throwing up with diarrhea all day. She won't eat rice, seems more tired than usual due to early onset kidney issues, and is panting and shivering more than usual. What should I do?

My 10-month-old Yorkie, Fenty, has had loose stool with mucus and light blood for 3 days. She drinks water regularly but has had trouble holding her stool, even pooping where she sleeps. I recently changed her food due to a move, but have since switched back to her normal diet. My other dog is fine. What should I do to help Fenty?

We have a 12-week-old golden retriever puppy named Spritz who is pooping excessively. He seems healthy with lots of energy and playfulness, but even pooped in his crate last night, which is not typical. He had a vet visit after Christmas for a possible leg sprain and was given a mild pain reliever. He has also had some issues with peeing in the house and recently has had a lot of gas. What could be causing this and what should we do?
