My 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel won't eat dog food and is very picky, only eating hot dogs or chicken. She loves snacks but I don't want her eating just snacks. What can I do? Also, is the yams wrapped with chicken bad for her as a snack?

My dog Max, a 7-year-old chocolate lab, is salivating excessively and it's just dripping out of his mouth. He seems okay, ate dinner, and went for a walk. Should I be concerned? What would cause that?

Our normally active 5-month-old papillon started whining about 1.5 hours after we all went to bed. He looked sick, was drooling a little, and instead of running around, he would walk around and then sit on his hind legs. Then he had one episode of projectile vomiting. Earlier in the evening, my 8-year-old was carrying him and commented about hearing water gurgling in his stomach as she held him. He did get out of his crate tonight and wandered through the house. I worry about him eating chocolate but haven't seen any on the floor. I worry about bowel obstruction. What could be causing his symptoms and what should be done?

I have a golden retriever with limber tail. He screams when I touch about 2 inches after the base of the tail. The symptoms appeared after over excitement when he saw a friend. Is it okay to wait 1 week to see if the pain is gone? My dog is already taking anti-inflammatory pills for a wound in his paw.

My dog was due for a heat cycle a few weeks ago. She started whining and had a gush of bright blood. We have had her for 4 years and this has never happened. She has barely had any blood since. Is this normal, and should I take her to the vet?
