My dog, a 11-year-old, 14 kg male chocolate Labrador, has been diagnosed with kidney disease based on blood and urine tests. The blood test results show elevated creatinine levels (1.7, normal range 0.3-1.4). The urine test shows elevated protein/creatinine ratio and creatinine levels. Can you determine the stage of my dog's kidney disease and his life expectancy? Additionally, what special diet or medication do you recommend?

My dog, Schatzi, is pooping blood. It started a month ago, stopped, and then resumed two days ago with additional symptoms like eating grass, vomiting, and diarrhea. She had a solid poop with blood yesterday and has been more thirsty. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 6-month-old, 24lb husky named Nikki chewed up a 1/2 full 15g tube of Triamcinolone Acetonide. She has shown no signs of distress and did not ingest the plastic tube, only the medication. What should I do?

My 2-year-old dog, Mitzi, has been throwing up blood since last night, and we cannot find an open vet today. Could she have eaten anything unusual or possibly gotten into some kind of poison? We are at our lake cabin in Tignall, GA, near Washington and Lincolnton, GA, and the weather has been sunny with temperatures in the 90s. She did not eat last night, and we have been here for 2 days.

My dog ate 8-10 grapes about an hour ago. He has eaten 1 or 2 before with no symptoms. He is a 90-pound Belgian Malinois, about to turn 2 years old. He has not vomited but has been burping more than usual. Should I be concerned, and what should I watch for?
