My 13-year-old dog, Peter, has had red blood in his stool starting at 9:00pm CST. His bowel movements are soft and somewhat runny but not diarrhea. He is eating, drinking, and energetic as usual. He hasn't eaten anything unusual, and I'm not aware of any stressors. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Accidentally gave my dog, Kayden, an extra 10mg dose of prednisone (prescribed for an adrenal mass) in the evening instead of just the 10mg in the morning. What should I do? Is it okay to resume normal dosing tomorrow morning, or should I skip a dose?

My dog, Nutella, a spayed female Lab mix, suddenly had difficulty moving and was shaking on Tuesday. She couldn't get up on the bed or the couch and was lethargic. She had an accident in the house for the first time in 10 years and was less interested in food and water. She had normal bloodwork in January except for a mention of a fatty liver. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 13-year-old Yorkie mix, Tobi, has been experiencing frequent coughing and gasping sounds, which seem to clear his throat. He also has a heart murmur and Cushings disease. I'm concerned about his condition and want to know if this could be related to his age, throat, or something more serious. Should I take him to the vet for further examination?

My 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Ducla, is experiencing vomiting, not drinking water, not moving, coughing, and has sick-looking eyes. She vomits both liquidy and foamy substances with food in it, but she hasn't eaten anything unusual. Her regular vet refused to take her, and the closest emergency vet is far away. What could be causing her symptoms, and what should I do?
