My puppy has been vomiting after eating a chew stick made of pork hide that was bacon & cheese flavored. Part of the stick was visibly in the vomitus. She has stopped vomiting now. Should I: 1) give her Pepto Bismol & if so, how much? 2) give her water per syringe to prevent dehydration? 3) observe her? 4) take her to the vet now?

I have an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Precious. She sometimes acts like she's trying to cough up something but never does, and it sounds bad. My sister, who had her since birth, said she would do this when excited, but recently it's happening more frequently, like every hour. Is this normal?

We have a 12-year-old yellow Labrador with multiple lipomas, some of which have been surgically removed. He is currently taking a Lymphoma/lipoma Formula with Chinese herbs, which reduces the size of tumors but they return when discontinued. Is there an alternative treatment to help manage or reduce these lipomas?

My 18-pound dog has a stinky odor due to his anal glands, which occasionally leak despite having regular bowel movements and being expressed by a groomer every 5 weeks. What can I do to manage this issue without surgery?

My 16-month-old lab fell out of a moving pickup truck going around 50mph. He has a gash on his rear left leg, a cut above his right eye, and some road rash under his chin. He was limping initially but is now no longer limping, though the leg is stiff when he turns or goes up stairs. He has been eating fine until today, when he started having loose stools and hasn't eaten his dog food but has eaten a rawhide and has an appetite for human food. He does not appear to have had a concussion and is very alert and happy. Vet is closed until tomorrow. Do you think he needs to be seen or could he just be stressed from the trauma of the injury?
