Hi there, our litter of 8-week-old golden retriever puppies have been doing incredibly well. A couple of the puppies have had super runny poop since being wormed yesterday at the vet (4th time) but they had their first flea treatment too yesterday. A few of them have had a couple of vomits also since then. Is that normal?

My 11-year-old Bernese mix dog, Wapo, has Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). He collapsed on July 30 and has been diagnosed with arthritis, a torn CCL, an enlarged liver, and blood byproducts in his urine. He is currently on Prednisone and antibiotics. He has a history of chronic ear infections and is emotionally traumatized by vet visits. My vet suggested more blood tests, an abdominal CT, and possibly a bone marrow biopsy to find the underlying cause of IMHA, which could be cancer or autoimmune. I'm concerned about the necessity of these tests and the emotional and physical stress they would cause Wapo. How long should we wait to see if he responds to the current treatment, and what are the implications if the underlying cause is cancer or autoimmune?

My dog Teddy, an 8-month-old puppy, has developed a small spot on his leg that looks and feels like a scab. We noticed it this morning and haven't seen him licking or focusing on that area. What could this spot be, and is there anything I can do in the meantime while waiting to see a vet?

My 85-pound, 2.5-year-old dog, Astro, ate 2 small green grapes. Should I be concerned about grape toxicity, and is there anything I should do?

How can I help boost my momma dog's milk supply? She is a Siberian Husky who recently had an intestinal infection, and we are currently on antibiotics for that. I think the resources her body has been using to fight the infection have reduced her milk supply. I am currently giving her Breeders edge oxy momma 2x daily, 3 tums 3x daily, and she is also on Forti flora for her tummy and Clavamox for antibiotic. She is fed Purina pro plan puppy sensitive stomach 3x a day, for a total of 6 cups with added pumpkin and wet food to entice her to eat. She drinks water, not as much as I would like but about 3/4 of a gallon a day maybe more. How can I improve her milk supply?

My dog is acting weird, panting and shaking. He doesn't usually pant like this unless he's been out on a long walk. He doesn't cough. His name is ***** ***** he's an 8-year-old Maltese mix. We saw a huge caterpillar, black and with hair. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?
