I have a Peekapoo who has had diarrhea and vomiting for about 5 days now. I tried a bland diet of chicken and rice, and I gave him 2 doses of Pepto Bismol yesterday (6 hours apart), but today he still has diarrhea and he’s starting to seem lethargic or tired. My vet's office is closed today. The last time he vomited was Friday—it was white and foamy. He started obedience class and we gave him some steak Monday night as a treat during his class. He vomited Tuesday morning a few times, and then the diarrhea started. He’s a small dog and he usually vomits a lot—just a little bit, and then he swallows it, so we weren’t concerned, but it’s been days now. His name is Aztec and he’s 2 1/2 years old. He’s about 7 lbs, maybe a little less since he hasn’t been eating much this week. Our other dog, a Maltese, just started with vomiting and diarrhea today—she’s about 6 lbs. Should I give her the same treatment?

My dog, Carrigan, may have a broken front right leg. He was injured yesterday evening when I accidentally backed over him with my car. He cannot put any weight on the leg and it looks unnatural. I have wrapped the leg in a bandage. What should I do, and can you help me make a splint without going to a vet due to financial constraints?

My golden doodle puppy, Piper, has diarrhea with blood. We noticed it this morning, and she had diarrhea in her crate, but the diarrhea itself was not bloody. Instead, her butt was bleeding, and we found a small amount of red jelly-like substance in the grass after she tried to poop. She is still acting normally, not lethargic, and has eaten and drunk water today. She hasn't eaten anything unusual that we know of, but she often gets into things. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

My pit bull bit our Miniature Pinscher, Tiny, and her eye is swollen with redness showing under the eyelid. Tiny is five years old and has no known allergies. What should I do to help her?

My dog, Jaz, has had a bone lodged in her intestines since Wednesday. She stopped eating and became lethargic and dehydrated. I took her to the hospital on Saturday for hydration, but I cannot afford a $1000 surgery. I am looking for low-cost options or information on where to take her if I need to give her up. What should I do?

My 9-week-old puppy, Taco, got his paw pinched under the balcony door and was limping slightly after. The emergency vet said nothing is broken and gave him painkillers. He's still slightly limping today. Should I take him to our vet for further examination or wait?
