I have a 10-year-old, 10-pound overweight Chihuahua named Chloe who has been experiencing diarrhea with bright red blood for two days. She has had diarrhea several times over the weekend, with the last instance showing some blood. She ate chicken on Saturday but has not eaten since then. She was given white rice and chicken broth but refused to eat it. She is not active due to bad knees and is scheduled for dental cleaning and tooth removal in February. She has all her shots up to date and takes meloxidyl daily for her knee issues. She has not had diarrhea for at least three hours and is not actively bleeding. Should I be worried and does she need to go to the emergency vet, or can it wait until tomorrow?

Bright red blood in the diarrhea is typically due to straining from the diarrhea itself and is usual...

My 4.5-month-old puppy, Rooster, has a bloated stomach, runny stool, panting, and is very thirsty. He has been eating a little more than usual and had a bone today. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do for him at home until I can get him to a vet?

My dog, Bentley, a 10-year-old weighing 17 pounds, ate a chocolate donut with chocolate glaze 5 minutes ago and hasn't vomited yet. What should I do to help him, and what are the potential signs of poisoning I should watch for?

My 5-month-old dog, Bon, is teething and has been having issues eating consistently. He sometimes refuses kibble and only eats half of his normal serving of wet food before resuming eating later. Is this a cause for concern, and how can I help him eat consistently without being picky?

My 6-month-old neutered Cockapoo named Max has been having difficulty pooping for the past 1.5 days. The stools are hard, and he seems to be in pain, particularly in the bowel area. He is somewhat lethargic with spurts of energy. What can be done to help him?
