My sister's female dog, weighing 3.5 to 4 lbs, is 60 days into gestation with 2 puppies. The vet mentioned that the puppies might not survive if not delivered soon. The dog is expected to give birth between 62 to 64 days, potentially extending to 71 days if bred early. My sister is concerned about the possibility of dystocia and the availability of emergency veterinary services. Additionally, she is worried about feeding the puppies, as she prefers goat's milk over regular milk replacer due to its thickness. What should we expect regarding the delivery and what is the best feeding option for the puppies?

My dog, Wapo, a 18-19 year old beagle, is having trouble with his back legs and stepping up. He still eats well, can see, and has no issues with bathroom use, but I suspect he has arthritis in his hips. Is there something I can give him for pain?

My border collie has an issue with the tissue around her nail on her hind leg. There is a cut that has been hurting her, and she can walk on it but favors the other leg a bit. The wound is not bleeding or infected and hasn't changed much in a week's time. She is licking the affected nail. What could be the issue, and what should I do?

My dog ate two chocolate-covered marshmallows, a hollow chocolate reindeer about half the size of the palm, and some sugar-coated gum drop candy. He's 3 1/2 years old and weighs 38-40 lbs. He has vomited a few times and is currently barking, drinking water, and laying down on his stomach. Is this a serious issue, and what should I do?
