Our dog, Ember, a 9-month-old pregnant pitbull mix, is yelping in pain when she moves the wrong way or puts too much pressure on her front paws. She can walk slowly when standing but is not wanting to walk and won't drink anything. We've been giving her fluids through a dropper and trying to keep her down to rest. There is no visible wound. What could be causing her pain and what should we do?

I have a 6-year-old Pomeranian Chihuahua mix named Mommas Boy who is not drinking or eating, won't get off the couch, has heavy eyes, a dry and warm nose, and a warm body. He also has red-colored diarrhea and a tight stomach. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog, Coconut, is vomiting after every meal. She has partially digested food in her vomit, not very liquid. She has hypercalcemia and moderate renal impairment, and an abdominal ultrasound showed nothing remarkable. She's receiving antibiotics for a possible UTI. Can I give Emetrol to control nausea and prevent vomiting?

My dog, Valentino, is dry heaving, coughing, and licking his lips. He threw up makeup remover wipes two days ago and today he threw up gray mush. Every time I try to open his mouth to check if he swallowed anything, he heaves again. What should I do?

My 16-year-old Miniature Dachshund, Max, is almost blind, almost deaf, has weak hind legs, shows signs of dementia, and has started to defecate and urinate in the house despite being just outside. He drinks a lot of water, sleeps a lot, has very stinky breath, breathes heavily when sleeping, and has gained a lot of weight in the last 5 years. What should I consider in deciding whether it's time to put him down?

My 3-month-old Bichon mix dog, Lulu, weighing 10.4 lbs, swallowed an 800mg Motrin about 15 minutes ago. We administered 5ml of hydrogen peroxide, and she has vomited twice but the pill is not visible. How long has it been since she threw up, and is there anything else the vet should know?
