My 8-month-old Chihuahua, Gina, has had diarrhea for a week now. She has no other symptoms, is up to date with all shots and deworming, and seems fine. She occasionally eats things off the floor and ate a chicken nugget on Christmas, which we initially thought might be the cause. All vets are closed due to the holiday. Should I be really concerned, and is there anything I can do for her?

My dog, Tobi, who is turning 5 in April, has had diarrhea for 2 days and today I noticed blood in her watery stool, followed by a jelly-like substance. She has eaten her regular dry food, possibly some grilled chicken, and lunch meat (honey turkey). This is the first time she has had bloody stool. What could be causing this and what should I do?

How was your experience with Dr. Andy today? Do you have any follow-up questions about your dog or would you like a second opinion on anything?

My dog, Kahula, won't stop licking her vagina and is barely eating anything. She has some energy but not as much as usual. What could be the issue and should I take her to the vet right away?

My dog, Alfie, has a full thickness 1 cm laceration on the dorsum of his right front paw between the 3rd and 4th phalanges from a bite by another dog. The wound is not currently bleeding, and Alfie is around 12 years old. I'm a physician and considering treating it at home with ointment and an antibiotic. What should I do to ensure proper care and prevent infection?
