My 2-year-old dog, Max, has been experiencing bloody diarrhea for about an hour. He is not vomiting, lethargic, or showing any other symptoms besides the bloody diarrhea. There are no pre-existing conditions, and he is not on any medication. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My puppy Mackey was diagnosed with diarrhea and treated with Metronidazole. After finishing the medication, she started having diarrhea again, but only at night. She wakes us up twice during the night and is otherwise fine. She is still taking a probiotic with breakfast. Some people suggest her diarrhea might be due to anxiety from a recent change in routine. She also has bad allergies but isn’t taking anything for that. Do you have any suggestions on what to do next?

Can dogs get two different kinds of cancer in their lifetime? My dog Bella had a soft tissue sarcoma removed from her right leg at the end of June. She is now limping on her left leg and has been since Saturday. She’s 9.5 years old and grunts a little too when shifting laying down. However, she’s an active off-leash dog normally that chases bunnies frequently so it could be a muscle sprain or tear. Once she gets up from resting, she stops limping after walking. She still wants to go for walks and gets up fine. The reason I’m asking about cancer is because we lost her brother to bone cancer in May and they were litter mates. Wanted to see if that’s even a possibility.

My 4-month-old lab puppy chewed on a 2x2 inch lidocaine patch about 20 minutes ago. He has not thrown up and did not swallow it. What should I do, and how long before any symptoms might occur?
