I have an almost 8-year-old male neutered Labrador retriever named Riley. He has OCD arthritis in his back hocks and is on supplements. The vet prescribes Rimadyl and Gabapentin when needed. Recent blood work came back great, but he is beginning to show weakness in his spine and has swelling in the joint of his front paw/toe, which doesn't seem to bother him. Could this swelling also be arthritis? Should I wait for the scheduled X-rays in a month, or is there anything else I should be concerned about?

What can I do when my dog, Zorro (20 months old), chews on my t-shirt, especially when I turn my back, despite him stopping when I say 'no'?

My dog, Dixie, a 30-pound, almost 3-year-old, ate a No Cow chocolate chip cookie dough bar, a Detour caramel protein bar, and half of a protein cookie about an hour and a half ago. I'm concerned if she will be okay, especially since the Detour bar was coated in chocolate. Should I be worried, or is it safe to monitor her at home?

My 17-month-old mini schnauzer, Raul, vomited brown with small flecks of blood 30 minutes ago. He has vomited three times in the last 12 hours, with the last one containing blood. He hasn't had a bowel movement since Monday evening, which was loose, mucousy, and dark brown. His behavior is normal, and he weighs 12 lbs. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My new rescue dog, Caddy, is having vaginal discharge. She is just over a year old and is fixed. How long has the dog had this discharge? What type of animal are we talking about? When did the dog last see a vet? Is she taking any medications? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?
