I took my 11-year-old Chihuahua, Peanut, to an ER clinic in Grand Terrace, CA, due to a concerning goose-like hacking sound in his breathing. The clinic charged $366 for the visit and medications, but I am dissatisfied with the treatment received. The staff did not allow me to be with my dog, and the veterinarians did not provide a clear diagnosis or treatment plan. They mentioned an enlarged heart and liver but did not offer a clear course of action. The prescribed medications were Clavacillin Suspension, Vetmedin Pimclo, and Temaril-P. I am questioning the competence of the staff and whether these medications are appropriate for Peanut's condition. Additionally, I am concerned about the cost and the lack of transparency in the services provided. What should have been done and provided to Peanut during the visit?

My dog, Chase, a 3-year-old, threw up blood about 10 minutes ago. He hasn't eaten all day and might have eaten something unusual. What should I do?

My 28-pound, 8-year-old cockapoo, Atticus, ingested up to 3 oz of dark chocolate (with hazelnuts) within the last 2 hours. He is not showing signs of distress. Has he thrown up since ingesting the nuts? What should I do to ensure he is safe?

My dog had diarrhea for 5 days after eating human food, specifically bacon cheese pizza. I've been feeding her only boiled chicken and rice, but she hasn't been eating the rice and now hasn't had a bowel movement for 1.5 days. Should I be concerned?

My 10-year-old female ***** ***** is vomiting orange and yellow, and her stomach has a vein that feels like it has hard lumps. She vomited four times last night and has started again today. She was bitten by a golden retriever two months ago and had surgery to stitch up the wounds. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Steele, ate a deer shoulder bone two days ago and hasn't pooped or eaten since. He's been vomiting and drooling, and is walking very slowly. He's drinking very little water and his gums feel wet but the skin tent test shows he's dehydrated. What should I do?
