Our 13-year-old Sheltie, Suki, has had diarrhea for two to three weeks and cannot keep even water down. She is also in pain, showing signs of drooling and leg quivering. She has been to the vet, had X-rays, and a complete blood panel, which showed no abnormalities. What else could be causing her symptoms?

My dog, Tyson, a 10-year-old male Boxer, has kidney disease and is anemic. My vet is not comfortable treating him due to lack of knowledge about chronic kidney disease (CKD). I believe he needs medication like erythropoietin to stimulate red blood cell production. What can I do to help my dog, and what are the recommended treatments or supplements for his condition?

I have two dogs, Molly and Chase, who have been sneezing frequently for the past 2-3 days, with clear nasal discharge and yellow/green eye discharge in one dog. Both are up to date on vaccinations, and I gave them Benadryl for suspected allergies, but the symptoms continue. Should I take them to the emergency vet, or is this a 'wait and see' situation? Could this be allergies, a cold, flu, or infection?

My dad found the mouse poison block trap box ripped open and no poison blocks left. Four dogs, weighing 10, 12, and 20 pounds, may have ingested the poison. There are no signs of vomiting. What should we do to safely induce vomiting if needed, and what is the recommended treatment for dogs that have ingested mouse poison?
