A female dog named Lola had puppies about two weeks ago and is very thin. I've given her puppy chow for calcium mixed with adult high-protein dog chow, hamburger meat, and rice, but she's not gaining weight. Her poop is worm-free, and she's drinking more water than usual. She's eating everything provided. What should I do?

My 7-month-old dog, Cooper, has had diarrhea for 3 days. He was given chicken and rice, which seemed to improve his condition briefly, but the diarrhea returned. He is eating and drinking normally, acting normally, and has no vomiting. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 8.5-month-old dog, Navi, has inflamed red ears and a little red bumpy rash on her tummy. She recently started shaking her ears and has been trying to rub her tummy on the ground. She was spayed on March 31 and has been eating less than usual, possibly due to an allergic reaction. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do to help her?

My dog, Roux, a 1.5-year-old chocolate lab weighing 65lbs, ate a 2.38 oz pack of milk chocolate M&M cookies. He has not vomited and is acting fine. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and is there anything I should do?
