I just adopted a 4-5 year old female dog named Tess who was recently spayed. She has yellow, loose stools without blood, a warm body indicating a possible fever, rapid breathing, is refusing food but drinking water, and is urinating without difficulty. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should I take?

One of our labs had an ear hematoma aspirated and was put on 40 mg prednisone twice a day. She is now not eating and just laying around. Should we cut back on the prednisone? Any recommendations?

My 2-month-old puppy, Haka, is fighting distemper after surviving parvo. He has good and bad days, with good days being active and eating well, and bad days where he stops eating and drinking, requiring drips at the clinic. Recently, his appetite has decreased again, and I have to force-feed him with a needleless syringe. However, he has become stressed and aggressive, growling and trying to bite when I try to pick him up. How can I reduce his stress and biting while still having to force-feed him? Additionally, his symptoms of distemper have fluctuated, with mucus thickening and sometimes blocking his nose, requiring nebulization. What can be done to manage his condition and improve his appetite?

My dog, Osiris, a 7-year-old weighing around 20 pounds, has been throwing up twice, with mostly brown vomit but a small amount with a pink color. He has been feeling unwell since the afternoon, experiencing gas, refusing dinner, and looking uncomfortable. He is also making squilling noises when moving and has a tender abdomen. His breathing is faster than normal, and he is making cry noises. There is a lot of movement sounds in his belly, and he is farting a lot with a horrible smell. Is this a sign of a belly issue or something more serious?

One of my dogs ate a used K-Cup, and I'm concerned about potential poisoning or blockage. What should I do, and is there any immediate action needed?
