I'm watching a friend's miniature pinscher named Thor, who is about 2 years old. This morning, I found that he had eaten a part of a styrofoam chicken tray from the trash. He seems fine, ate his food, had a treat, and took a poop. Should I do anything until I can check on him later today, or wait for the owner to come home tomorrow?

My dog, Buddy, is very sick. He is lethargic, won't eat, and has crusty discharge with a terrible smell coming from his ear. He is 15 years old and we can't afford to take him to a vet. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 2-year-old male dachshund suddenly can't walk, and his back legs aren't working. I checked for wounds and found none. He was fine at lunchtime and runs around a lot with his 6-month-old girlfriend. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a Boerboel named Coco, who is 6 years old and has been ill for almost a month. The main symptoms are drastic weight loss, high water consumption, bruising of the skin, and low energy levels. My vet has found a low white blood cell count. Coco has been treated with prednisone and doxydog for the past 3 months, but the treatment has been unsuccessful. What could be the issue, and what else should I consider?

My dog is throwing up and can't stand up. He ate some unknown plant from my front yard and might have ingested a little car oil. There was a worm or something in his last vomit. What should I do?
