I have a 12-year-old Shih Tzu named Buddy. He woke up with shakes or shivers and appears to be having difficulty breathing. I have not noticed any coughing, limping, or drooling. He may have come into contact with a dead animal near our property. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I do?

My father-in-law fed my 15-year-old Shih Tzu, Morty, a small amount of raw Jimmy Dean hot sausage three days ago. Morty weighs 11.8 lbs and has had some diarrhea yesterday but no bowel movement today. He is eating and drinking normally. What should I do?

My 10-month-old dog, Bella, is having super oily poops and throwing up. She threw up a piece of plastic, and has been vomiting off and on. Almost every time she sits down, oil comes out of her bum. She might have eaten a scrap of blanket and got a mouthful of cat poop yesterday. What should I do?

My dog had a hematoma in her ear and we got a canula put in. She has slightly pulled it out. What can we do?

My dog, Axel, has thrown up 7 times, refuses food and water, and is experiencing decreased appetite. He threw up a squeaker from a toy last night and has not eaten or drunk since. His energy levels seem okay, but we are snowed in due to the Buffalo blizzard and cannot access a vet or drugstore. What can I do to help him at home with the limited supplies I have, such as Pepto Bismol and Tums?

My 10-year-old dog, Ginger, has had large, wet, and bloody stools since last evening. She seems more depressed and slow-moving, but there is no vomiting or diarrhea. She was almost consumed a chocolate-covered cherry, but I took it away. What could be causing this and what should I do?
