I have an 11-year-old, 19 kg obese female Philippine native dog who was diagnosed with a large abdominal mass and smaller masses via ultrasound, thickened mitral and tricuspid valves, decreased cardiac output, and abnormal ECG results.

I own a Shetland Sheepdog named Dolly who is pregnant and has eaten about 2-3 feet of a nylon 3/8 inch leash. She has not pooped since this happened and seems fine otherwise. Should I take her to an emergency vet or wait until tomorrow?

My puppy, Cuddles, has orangeish diarrhea with blood, lethargy, pale gums, and is not eating. He was recently treated with anti-diarrhea, nausea medication, and dewormer, but his condition has not improved. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Simba, a 75 lb golden retriever, ate a tube of 'skinfix' hand cream and part of the plastic lid. The cream is all natural. What should I do?

My 12-year-old West Highland White Terrier, Mabel, had a temperature on Monday and received a couple of injections (antibiotics and a pain killer) at 10am. By Tuesday at 8pm, she is not well, whimpering and growling when I try to pick her up. She seems to hurt in her shoulders and neck, is very quiet, and not eating. What could be wrong and what should I do?
