I dropped a bag of macadamia nuts on the floor and my two dogs, Chipper (almost 9 years old, 17 lbs) and Ryah (almost 12 years old, 25 lbs), each ate about 3 nuts.

My dog, Porter, a 11-year-old pug, has been limping on his front leg for a while, but it became severe this morning, to the point where he can't put any weight on it. He doesn't show any signs of pain when I touch his leg, but he refuses to put weight on it. He is generally super healthy and has never been sick. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Our puppy, Zeus, got into tile mortar. He has it on his paws and a little on his snout. We're unsure if he ate any. He's about 60 pounds and this happened an hour ago. He hasn't vomited and is currently sleeping. Should I take him to the emergency vet, and what should I do about his paws?

I recently adopted a dog and do not want a microchip placed in her due to concerns about safety and lack of sufficient study. How can I find a veterinarian who will support my decision and potentially remove a microchip if it is already placed?

My son's dog was recently diagnosed with parvo, and now my little dog, Snoopy, is showing the same symptoms: vomiting, not eating, and sleeping all day and night. I've called several vets to see if they offer payment arrangements but have no luck. What can I do to help Snoopy at home?

My 15-year-old Rat Terrier, Ace, suddenly became off-balanced, vomited, and became weak and lethargic. The vomit was initially food but later turned into a brown liquid. I bathed him and applied conditioner, which he didn't get washed off for a day. He was fine until then. What could be causing this and what should I do?
