My kitten switched food abruptly with no transition, ate a lot, then had diarrhea; I bathed it, and next day it was lethargic, dry-nosed, and refusing food, now vomiting but stools normal.
Food changes must be gradual; a sudden large amount causes gut upset with diarrhea and vomiting. This is likely stress from the switch plus the bath. Stop the new food, return to soaked old food, add probiotics. If vomiting continues, fast 6 to 8 hours with glucose electrolyte water, then pet anti-vomit medicine and antibiotics; if it stops, slowly return to soaked food; if it continues, see a vet.
My dog keeps dry-coughing and retching but is otherwise normal
A dry cough and retch with normal appetite and energy may come from irritants, respiratory infection, or other disease. Move it to a clean, odor-free space and see a vet if it continues.
My dog ate 5-6 raw chive-and-egg dumplings when no one was watching
Chives can damage a dog's kidneys. If eaten recently, induce vomiting with soapy water; if a while ago, watch for signs and give water. See a vet if it acts unwell.
I walked my dog in drizzle, now it lies down and moves slowly; was it chilled?

My dog has a soft fleshy ball under its chin that feels like water
A soft, painless lump under the chin may be a salivary or parotid cyst, often with drooling. If it grows or the dog acts odd, see a vet; severe cases may need surgery.
My kitten was run over; it is listless with much less appetite
Being run over with low spirits and poor appetite suggests internal injury, possibly internal bleeding or fractures. Take it to a vet at once; delay risks life or lasting damage.
My cat vomits yellow-brown fluid; is the cat food too poor in quality?
Vomiting has many causes beyond food: indigestion, intolerance, bacteria, parasites, liver/gallbladder disease, panleukopenia, or foreign bodies. If spirits are fine, fast and give probiotics; see a vet if it persists.
My dog has been like this since last night; I thought it overate but it is the same this morning
The photo shows no clear abnormality. Have the dog walk to check movement, and watch its stool, spirit, and appetite. If normal, it is fine; if it will not move, see a vet.
Why does my cat drink a lot and shiver?
Frequent drinking with shivering may be from cold, pain, or fear. Watch it if appetite and spirits are normal. See a vet if it persists or comes with lethargy or weight loss to rule out FIP.
