My 14-year-old poodle/golden mix, Barkley, has stopped eating and is very lethargic. He vomits every other day and has dark, tar-like bowel movements. His white blood cell count is elevated, and he was given antibiotics and an appetite stimulant, but there's been no improvement. What could be causing his symptoms, and what can be done to keep him comfortable without invasive procedures?

I'm taking care of my friend's dog, Sparta, who is 6 years old. He's been lethargic, not eating much other than a couple of turkey slices, and threw up once. He's drinking plenty of water, but hasn't eaten well for about 5 days. Sparta has no ongoing medical issues and isn't on any medications. What could be causing his symptoms, and what should I do?

My dog ate a small amount of stuffing from a squishmellow toy. Should I be concerned? The dog is about 60 pounds, 3 years old, and ate about three fingers worth of stuffing. He had already eaten dinner before this occurred and has shown no signs of distress so far.

My dog, 50, a one-year-old bully, is vomiting and has blood in her poop. She might have eaten something unusual, like a roach motel. What should I do?

My dog, Acacia, a 4-year-old female, has been urinating frequently with blood in her urine, possibly due to her cycle, but I'm concerned about a potential UTI. She has also had a few indoor accidents with dark-colored urine. She seems a bit lethargic and is drinking more water than usual. What should I do?
