Our 11-year-old male Boston Terrier, Buster, was diagnosed with a tumor covering 3/4 of his stomach and a spot on his lung. We were told surgery would be useless and are now managing his comfort with pain meds, Pepcid, and sufulcrate. Buster has been eating mulch and his bowel movements now contain stringy parts of mulch. Could the ultrasound that showed a mass have been misdiagnosed as a tumor, or is it more likely cancer?

I have a one-year-old mama dog who recently had 11 pups on 6/9/16. Multiple pups were born with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. Now, she has creamy pink, thicker-than-water vaginal drainage, is not eating well, and is significantly underweight despite being on full feed for several weeks. I have not noticed any worms in her stool, and I gave her 3 ml of Strongid without seeing any worms or pieces of tapeworm. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog is lethargic, has a lack of appetite, and is acting uncoordinated. She had explosive water and bloody diarrhea, and we suspect she might have ingested lantana. She has seen a vet and had an x-ray, but no blood work has been done. What tests can confirm if she ingested lantana, and what treatment options are available?

I am getting a Queensland puppy at 4 weeks old. What age should she be separated from the mother, and what is the schedule and timeframe for parvo and booster shots, as well as worming? I currently use Pancur wormer on my older Queensland and give a 9-way booster. Which booster should I give the puppy and does it change as the weeks progress?

My 11-pound Frenchie, Blanche, may have swallowed a 1.5-inch piece of elk antler. She is showing no signs of distress but will eat anything. Will she be okay?
