My 12-year-old dog, Snow, has a temperature of 99.8°F, which is below normal for a dog. She has been doing well on glutathione supplements but is now low energy and not acting like herself. She has a presumed diagnosis of cancer of the spleen based on an x-ray. Should I be concerned about her low temperature, especially given her condition, and is this an emergency that can't wait until her vet appointment on Monday?

We have a 45-pound hound mix, 6 months old, that has been with us for 2 1/2 months. She has a strong prey instinct towards our 2 cats (both mellow and used to the other 3 dogs in the house). We've tried various methods to introduce them safely but progress has been slow. How can we better manage this situation and help our dog become more calm around the cats?

We started Vetsulin last night, and the dog didn't want to eat this morning. He only ate 1.5 slices of bologna. Should I still give him his insulin injection?

I have an 8-month-old Morkie named Rocky. He has been experiencing diarrhea with blood, but he is full of energy and doesn't seem bothered by it. I have tried various foods like rice, apple sauce, and boiled chicken, but he is a picky eater and won't eat much. I also think I might have overfed him, giving him 1 cup of food which is equivalent to 2 cups a day for his 5 lbs weight. What should I do next?

I suspect my dog, Myrtle, a 4-year-old weighing 40 lbs, may have ingested a nickel-sized battery about 3-4 hours ago. Has the dog thrown up since ingesting the battery? Is there anything else the Vet should know about Myrtle?

My Chihuahua-Min-Pin mix dog, Lily, has had diarrhea since Sunday and vomited twice today. I think she may have eaten something, possibly less than 2 tablespoons of gravy with mashed potatoes, where the gravy was made with cream of mushroom soup and contained onions. She is 13 pounds and generally healthy. What should I do?
