I have a 4-year-old dog named Roma who survived being shot, with a main injury being a broken leg. After surgery with plates, pins, and bolts, the bone has still not bridged ten months later. There are bullets still in her body that were too risky to remove. What can be done to regenerate bone growth or bridge the bone, or is amputation the only option?

Both of my 16-week-old puppies, Buddy and Bellamy, are throwing up clear liquid with a little bit of food. The first pup started vomiting last night, and the other pup vomited this morning. They recently had their second round of puppy shots and were given Nexgard and a heartworm tablet. I have two theories: around 3 days ago, I put carpet powder on my carpet, and I saw my dogs near it but they couldn't have licked it much. We also switched their dog food because my boyfriend bought the wrong bag. They act normal. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about parvovirus?

Our 3-year-old Australian cattle dog mix, Snickerdoodle, accidentally ingested several Carprofen tablets while we were out of town. Since then, she has been vomiting and unable to keep food down. She seems alert but miserable, with a wet nose and clear eyes, but no other symptoms. We are now home and feeding her small amounts of bland food. Is there anything more we should be doing?

My 10-year-old dog, Molly, had bladder stone surgery a few months ago followed by several UTIs. Now she has sandy sludge in her bladder and was having trouble peeing. The vet has her on antibiotics and a muscle relaxer, and she's peeing better but not straining as much. Do you think she can pass the sludge on her own or should the vet flush it? She's on a special diet (Purina NF) and seems otherwise healthy, but we're financially strained from frequent vet visits. What else can be done to help her?
