I have a 6-year-old mixed-breed dog named Hunter who has been experiencing blood in her poop and vomiting with blood for the past 4 months. Despite multiple vet visits, tests including blood work, ultrasound, and gastrointestinal tests, and a bland diet, the issue persists intermittently. What could be causing this and what further steps can be taken to diagnose and treat the problem?

My dog has an orangey blood-seeping, inflamed skin lesion that appeared within the last 5 hours. The area is not near her bottom hole. I cleaned the area with a warm soapy cloth and applied triple antibiotic cream. She is currently sleeping, but I'm concerned. What should I do?

My 13-year-old Cavapoo named Fenway ate about 1/4 of a chocolate chip cookie. Is this amount of chocolate toxic, and should I induce vomiting?

My dog, Luke, was possibly bitten by a copperhead. His neck and jaw are swollen, and he's lethargic, only eating tiny bites of chicken hand-fed by me, and only gets up once a day for bathroom and water. I've been giving him diphenhydramine, 25mg every 12 hours, but I can't afford to take him to the vet. The swelling in his neck may have gone down slightly, but it's hard to tell. What else can I do to help him?

My puppy, Winnie, has been itching and scratching for over a week, causing a rash that has worsened and spread to her legs. She's been on a flea preventative and has had three baths using the same shampoo. What could be causing the rash, and what can I do to help her?
