My dog ate a chicken bone and is whining when he tries to poop. He ate it 24 hours ago, vomited once this morning, and the bone was a chicken wing bone, not very large. We didn't see if he chewed it or swallowed it whole, and there was no blood in the vomit.

My lab ate a large fish (catfish) and seems to have a bone caught in his throat. He keeps coughing and gagging. This is day two. I don't have the money for a $1000 vet bill, is there anything I can do at home for him?

Our rescue dog, Tina, was prescribed Rimadyl for arthritis and experienced ascites during treatment. We are trying to determine if this was due to the Rimadyl, how severe her renal failure is, and how to assess for liver disease given our limited access to advanced diagnostic tools. We also want to know the appropriate course of action for her condition, including dietary restrictions and potential treatments.

My 10-year-old mixed breed female dog has a small, black, shiny mole on her front leg. I first noticed it three months ago, and it is 4 mm in diameter. It hasn't grown much. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
