My 12-year-old male dog, Loki, started dry heaving tonight around 6 PM. He has been fine all day and had a vet appointment earlier today. He tried a small amount of goat milk for the first time, about a tablespoon or two, and later chewed on a plush toy but did not swallow any stuffing. He is not coughing and his breathing is stable, but he seems uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate a part of a moisture pack from a prepared food container. The dog weighs about 23 pounds and has not vomited since eating the pack about an hour ago. The pack had black plastic on the bottom and a cotton-like filling. What should I do to help my dog and avoid potential obstruction?

My dog is on a raw meat diet and has been experiencing blockage issues while trying to poop. I felt the blockage with my finger and found white chunks in his vomit, which I believe are pieces of calcium. Is this attached to his insides or will it come out? It felt pretty big.

My dog just ate grapes. He's a golden doodle weighing about 60 pounds and ate a handful (10 or so) just a few minutes ago. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

My 1-year-old coonhound has developed a ring of raised bumps on the flesh side of one ear. There's no obvious bite in the middle of the ring. What could this be and how should I treat it?

I think my puppy, Bowie, and my adult dog have giardia. The puppy has had diarrhea for about 3 days, but is still eating, drinking, and playing. The adult dog also has diarrhea and vomited once but is otherwise normal. What can I do to help them without going to the vet?
