My wolf dog, Apache, who is 3 years old, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting. The vet prescribed EN gastroenteritis dog food with probiotic powder, to be fed in small meals 4 times a day. However, Apache is refusing to eat, even after being more active since yesterday. He has always been a finicky eater and eats slowly. What should I do to encourage him to eat?

My 3.5-year-old Golden Doodle, Buddy, has been lethargic for two days, preferring to lay around in cool places instead of playing. He needs help getting into the car, which is unusual for him. He's eating but not interested in treats, and his stool looks normal. I don't think he's in pain or ate anything unusual. Should I take him to the vet soon?

My 13-year-old dog, Menace, who is 35 lbs and slightly overweight, threw up his food and then immediately vomited after drinking water. He is lethargic and his stomach feels firm. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have just taken ownership of a 10-year-old mixed-breed dog weighing 5.5 kgs. She seems very happy to walk with me for 6 kms each day at a slow to moderate pace. Is this too much for her, considering she may have a narrowing trachea and a luxating patella in her left hind leg?

My dog, Leo, a 3-year-old female, mated with another dog and since then has been unable to hold anything down, is extremely depressed, and has had seizures occasionally. She is normally very energetic but has become withdrawn, refuses to eat, and can only drink water but vomits it up. She also bled quite a bit after mating but the bleeding has since slowed down. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

My dog, Jax, a 5-month-old 15-pound dog, ate a package of d-CON containing cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). I induced vomiting in both my dogs, but I'm unsure how much Jax actually ingested. It's been about an hour since he vomited. What should I do next, and are there any long-term effects if toxicity occurs?
