By itself, bilious vomiting syndrome is not a serious problem in dogs. However, it can lead to other problems. Therefore, if your dog is vomiting bile, do not delay with taking your dog to your vet. The sooner your vet can diagnose this syndrome, the sooner your dog can receive treatment and not develop health problems related to vomiting bile. Your vet will perform a physical examination. During the physical exam, describe the vomiting episodes in as much detail as possible: when your dog vomits, what the vomit looks like, and how long the vomiting has been going on. The more information you give your vet, the better able they’ll be able to diagnose your dog. Although it’s well known that dogs vomit bile when they have an empty stomach, it’s not clearly known how the bile gets into the stomach in the first place. Some potential causes of bile abnormally flowing into the stomach include inflammatory bowel diseases, internal parasites (Giardia), and intestinal blockage.

. You can prevent syphilis transmission by recognizing the symptoms. Syphilis symptoms include skin ulcers, lesions, and rashes inside or around your genital area. Ulcers and lesions can also pop up around the mouth and lips or inside your mouth. Rashes found on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet are also symptoms. Additionally, you might develop a fever, swollen glands, a sore throat, and feel tired and weak. Unfortunately, if you have caught syphilis or if you had syphilis previously and it has relapsed, you might not know because symptoms do not always surface. Ensure that you do not have syphilis by getting tested for it, either by your usual healthcare provider or a local clinic that tests for STIs. If you are at risk for an infection, it is recommended that you get tested at least once a year, if not twice a year. Also, it is recommended that you get tested with each new partner. If caught in its early stages, syphilis can be cured with the right medicine, usually with penicillin G. Home remedies and over-the-counter drugs do not cure syphilis. Once treated, it is recommended that you abstain from all sexual activities for seven days or until your sores are healed to prevent contracting syphilis or transmitting it to other partners.

While your Pacific tree frog gets most of its water from soaking, it won’t always be smart enough to hop over to the water when it’s dehydrated. Use a fine spray bottle filled with filtered water to spray down your frog and the inside of its tank each day to keep it moist.  Pacific tree frogs thrive best in a very humid environment, around 70% humidity. If you can’t maintain this level of humidity, look online or ask at your local pet store about a terrarium humidifier that will help keep your frog happy. Purchase a hydrometer to attach to the tank so that you can monitor the humidity more closely. Tank or terrarium hydrometers should be available online or at your local pet store. Make sure the spray bottle is filled with filtered water, bottled water, or treated tap water. The chlorine in tap water is toxic to frogs and may make your frog sick. As your frog spends a lot of time in the water in its tank, it will often defecate or bring substrate into the water that can muddy it. Each morning, lift the dish of water out of the tank, pour it away outside, and refill it with filtered or bottled water. This will make sure your frog always has safe, clean water to sit ion.  If the water still looks clean when you go to change it, it should be OK for another day or so. If you have more than 1 frog in your tank, the water will need changing more often. You can also refill your frog's water with tap water that has been treated with a dechlorination tablet. Purchase a terrarium or tank thermometer and attach to the outside of the glass. Check the thermometer at least once each day to make sure the inside of the tank remains between 45–60 °F (7–16 °C).  If you notice that the temperature inside the tank is lower than it 45 °F (7 °C), purchase an electronic heating pad to sit under one side of the tank to keep it warm. Pads designed for tree frogs should be available online or at your local pet store. Thermometers designed to attach to the glass of a tank or aquarium should be available online or from your local pet store. Transfer the frog to a small holding tank with some clean water and remove everything else from the tank. Scrub down the sides of the glass with filtered, bottled, or treated water to clean it, wipe down any decorations in the tank, and clean the water dish. Let everything dry fully before reassembling the tank and returning your frog to it.  Don’t use any chemicals when cleaning the tank, as even residual chemicals can burn your frog's skin. If you use a natural layer of substrate, you should remove it and replace it with new substrate every month as well. This will help get rid of any waste that settles into the substrate. Wear gloves when cleaning the tank to avoid touching anything that could make you sick.

You can find these online although some well-stocked craft stores may also carry them. Each brand will be a little different, but most kits will contain the following: a pre-printed canvas, flat-backed diamonds also known as drills, a tray, a pen-like tool, and a packet of gel or wax. The canvas is composed of tiny boxes that are colored and labeled with numbers, letters and/or symbols, much like a cross-stitch canvas. Each symbol corresponds to a diamond color. The symbols are written on a chart, with the corresponding bag and drill color written below or next to it. The chart is typically printed on the side of the canvas. If the canvas won't lay flat, roll it back the other way, then unroll it. Spread it down onto a flat surface, then secure the edges with masking tape. This project can be time consuming. Consider taping the canvas to a board, which you can move out of the way easily. Choose a box to start with and note the symbol in it. Match the symbol on the canvas with the chart, then find the bag with the same symbol. Gently shake the tray to settle the drills and set them upright. Some kits come with multiple trays. You can use the other trays for the other colors in that section.
