We gave our puppy, Cooper, 5 days worth of treatment for coccidia, but he's still losing weight and is almost all skin and bones. He vomited last night after eating and has slight diarrhea. He's about 11 weeks old and eats a little. What could be causing his weight loss, and what should we do to help him?

A friend's Boxer has been treated twice with antibiotic shots and pills. He initially gets better but then becomes lethargic and uninterested in things. His owner has put out rat poison out of the dog's reach, but one of the four dogs in the household got a rat and left its carcass in the house. Could he be poisoned? What do I need to do? It seems all the other vets in the area are too busy to see us today and I am deathly worried. None of the other dogs are showing any kind of symptoms at all.

My dog Diesel is bleeding a lot from his mouth. I think he broke off a tooth and may have punctured something. I'm unable to get him to a vet right now. What do I need to do to stop the bleeding and clean it to prevent infection?

My dog, a medium-sized 20 lbs dog, may have ingested an unknown amount of Vyvanse, an ADHD medication, in the form of capsules. I induced vomiting immediately after realizing this, but did not see the pills in the vomit. What should I do next to ensure my dog's safety, and how soon should I expect to see any symptoms if the medication has been absorbed?
