My 12-pound dog is constipated, was vomiting and nauseated, and is a bit shaky. I've given Gas-X a few times today, which helps produce gas. Can I administer Colace? The dog ate rice, chicken with squash and zucchini (about 6 tablespoons) 2 days ago and had sweet potato mashed the day before. The dog's name is Ralphie, and there is nothing else the veterinarian should be aware of.

I have a 2.5-year-old husky mix/sled dog named Morgan who has lost 10 pounds rapidly, has large stools, is always hungry, eats her own poop, and has had normal blood work with one slightly elevated liver enzyme. She has been treated for various conditions including coccidiosis and has had a change of ownership. What could be causing her weight loss and digestive issues, and should I consider food allergies or a grain-free diet?

My miniature schnauzer has broken the rightmost toenail on his left paw after walking on new snow. The toenail is longer than the others and is dangling loosely. The bleeding has stopped, but he is limping and sensitive. Can I safely clip off the excess, and how close to the toe itself should I cut?

My dog (a two-year-old lab named Koufax) ate a baseball-sized piece of raw pizza dough about an hour ago. What should we do?
