Can dogs' blood vessels flicker during an abdominal ultrasound? My dog is producing milk and we suspect she might be pregnant, but X-rays haven't shown anything. During the ultrasound, the vet mentioned sacs that they believe are poo and flickers they think are blood vessels. I haven't heard of blood vessels flickering in ultrasounds before. Is this normal, and what other tests can confirm pregnancy?

My 12-year-old husky mix is unable to get up and has been having episodes of inability to walk over the last several days. He is also not eating, drinking a lot, and very lethargic. Could this be related to strokes, and what should I do for him tonight?

My female French bulldog, Graycie, was just diagnosed with pancreatitis and weighs 12.6 kg. How much should I be feeding her per meal to ensure she recovers properly and to avoid overfeeding or underfeeding?

My dog has been scratching excessively and dragging his butt on the floor. He lost almost all of his hair a few months ago, but it started growing back after a medicated bath. Now, he's scratching and dragging his butt again. I'm wondering if I need a dewormer or some sort of medication for parasites.

My dog, Bruno, a long-haired German Shepherd, has vomited twice in the past 5 hours, is lethargic, and has been constipated for the past 2 days. He has been eating normally but hasn't eaten since the vomiting started. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My pet, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu weighing approximately 10 pounds, has a body temperature of 105°F. Can this wait until morning to take her to the vet, or should I seek emergency care at this hour?
