I have a litter of 6 neonatal puppies, two of which were bleeding slightly from their anus. All pups are doing well now but are not gaining weight at the expected rate of 10% per day. They are nursing vigorously, but the mother is having trouble eating and has been losing weight. I have been cooking her food, but she won't eat puppy food or canned food. What should I do to ensure the puppies' health and the mother's nutrition?

I have a 40 lb male dog named Hunter, who is 8 years old and neutered. He has been throwing up bile today, hasn't eaten, and is experiencing discomfort when laying down, often moaning. He was able to jump into the car an hour ago when I tried to take him to the emergency vet, which was closed. What could be causing his discomfort and vomiting, and what should I do until I can take him to a vet tomorrow?

Hello! My 11-month-old Toller got spayed three days ago. We are trying to keep her calm and inactive, and she gets a sedative twice a day. There seems to be a little bump near her incision. Is this normal, and should I be concerned?

My dog Bandit has swollen ankles and legs, and he is lethargic. I don't know why his ankles or legs have swollen in the last 24 hours. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 10-month-old puppy, Rocky, tore off his dewclaw yesterday. It bled a little but not a lot. The nail is barely hanging on and is sideways, with the skin around it being red. He is trying to lick it. What should I do for him, and should I take him to the vet or try home remedies first?

My 6-month-old silver lab, Smokie, ate a 1x1 inch wax square from a diamond art kit. Can this be harmful?
