Kita, an 8.5-year-old dog weighing 62 lbs, has been experiencing blood in her feces along with diarrhea for the last few days. She has also vomited recently and has been less thirsty. She ate some twigs and takes digestive probiotic supplements. She was spayed a month ago with benign lipomas removed and was cleared post-op. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should be taken to help her?

My dog, Steve, has been on Carprofen for years for hip dysplasia, arthritis, and spinal stenosis. My regular vet is unavailable, and the other vet in the office won't refill the Carprofen prescription due to kidney concerns. She suggests switching to Galliprant after a 5-day washout period, but I'm concerned about the pain Steve will experience during this time and the fact that Galliprant may not fully address his pain issues. What should I do for my 13.5-year-old dog's comfort?

I have an 8-month-old, 7 lbs Chihuahua named Frodo with one descended testicle and one undescended testicle in his abdomen. We wanted to breed him, but are unsure if it's possible or if we should neuter him. Additionally, he has persistent puppy teeth, particularly his fangs, which haven't fallen out and are causing bad breath. What should we do about these issues, and what is the cost involved?

My dog Sydney, a 2-year-old German Shepherd, hasn't eaten her regular dog food since Saturday but will eat dog treats. She had diarrhea on Saturday but has been fine since then, acting normal and active. What could be causing her lack of appetite for regular food, and should I take her to the vet?

My 2-year-old golden retriever has watery bowels and has thrown up. He is still very active and doesn’t seem sick. Can I give him Pepto-Bismol to stop or slow it down, and should I switch him to a chicken and rice diet?
