I just brought home a six-week-old puppy yesterday, and his stool is filled with worms. The breeder administered a dewormer before I took him home, but I didn’t realize he was infested. I’m taking the puppy to my vet tomorrow. Should I make appointments for my kids and my two adult dogs for prophylactic deworming?

My 12-month-old male pitbull named Prince has been experiencing inflamed testicles for about 6 weeks. They are red, sometimes swollen, and have bumps with pus. Prince licks the area a lot and has not been neutered. What can I do to help until I can take him to the vet in a couple of weeks?

My 10-year-old dog, Dixie, has pale gums, is being distant, and has been vomiting about once a week for the last 3 weeks. She ate her breakfast today but hasn't vomited. She last saw a vet 8 months ago and is not on any medications. What should I do?

My 10 1/2-year-old Shih Tzu, Sadie, has been experiencing soft stool with blood on and off. Her water intake has remained the same, and she hasn't eaten anything unusual. She has been eating chicken and rice for weeks but still has issues. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Brownie, a chocolate collie mix, delivered 6 babies last night and is now bleeding again and shaking. This is her second litter, and her first one went smoothly. What could be happening to her?
