We purchased a puppy named Ransom from a breeder in PA and live in UT. Two days after getting him, he was diagnosed with coccidia and giardia.

My 9-year-old Yorkie Poo, Zoyee, has pooped 5 times this morning and is still straining to poop. She has been eating more frequently and sometimes eats dirt. Her stomach feels tight, and her last two poops were loose with some fluid. What should I do for her today, and is an X-ray the only way to diagnose her condition?

My 15-month-old German Shepherd is experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy, which are very uncharacteristic. The other dog in the home seems fine. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Athena, a 2-year-old German Shepherd weighing 95 lbs, has been taking 1 1/2 phenobarbital pills (16.2 mg each) daily for seizures since February. She has not had a seizure in 3 weeks but recently had 2 seizures in one day and 2 more the next day. Should I give her an extra dose of phenobarbital, and what other steps should I consider to manage her seizures?
