My dog has had constipation and diarrhea, strains to poop, scoots her butt, eats grass, vomits, and hacks. Her intestines are gurgling loudly, and she whimpers when her stomach is touched. I've switched her food to Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach, but her symptoms have worsened. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog just started licking from a bottle of "Liquid Fence" repellent for deer and rabbits. Is this something to be concerned about?

My 21-pound male Schipperke may have eaten a piece of string about 5 inches long. Is a string that long dangerous? What should I look for?

My dog is sick. He has bloody urine, drips blood from his penis, has trouble having a bowel movement, and is leaking green from his anus. He has tired eyes and is in discomfort. Cost is an issue. Should I take him to emergency services, or can he wait until my vet appointment on Monday?

I have a female black lab named Ellie, born on 6/12/2007, who is very active and goes to the dog park 5 times a week. She has a slight shoulder injury from a puppy and has had several urinary infections, for which she has been on Royal Canine Urinary food. Recently, her coat became dull, and bloodwork showed slightly elevated leukocytes. Follow-up bloodwork showed elevated lymphocytes and WBC, and a lump in her hind leg lymph node. She was put on Doxycycline, but the dosage was incorrect initially. After correcting the dosage, her condition improved, but a lymph node in her jaw was found. What are the odds that this might be lymphoma? How long would it take for the lymph node to return to normal size if it was an infection? Should we be worried, and what would you recommend at this point?
