My dog, Mia, an 8-year-old Pom-Chi mix, had an accident on our bed, urinating while relaxed. She recently switched from hand-fed nugget food to soft food due to her teeth and had her booster shots two weeks ago. She doesn't seem more hungry, thirsty, or tired than usual. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 35-pound dog, Apollo, age 3, ate about one fluid ounce of Earth Mama Nipple Butter, which contains olive oil, cocoa seed butter, shea butter, candelilla wax, mango butter, and calendula flower extract. It was about 15 minutes ago, and he has not thrown up. He seems fine, but I'm wondering how dangerous it is at the small amount.

Our 9-month-old golden retriever, RC, has thrown up his food and is now spitting up green foamy bile. It has been about 2 hours since he last vomited. He may have eaten something unusual, and he is acting normal, but is not holding down water. What could be the problem and what should we do?

My 7-year-old Great Dane has been treated for IBS for two years, experiencing symptoms like reflux and vomiting. After a recent vomiting episode, she was treated with Cerenia, Omeprazole, Ondansetron, and Famotidine. She was fed a diet of boiled chicken with white rice, including ginger, miso broth, and dried onion flakes, and introduced to Purina Calm probiotic. However, she developed bloody gelatinous diarrhea. What should I give her to solidify her stool, and how should I clean the environment to prevent infection spreading to her sister or other dogs?
