My 13-year-old dog, Oscar, has been losing weight (10.8 to 9.8 kg over a few days) and has dark, loose stools. He is eating and drinking a lot but still losing weight.

My dog ate a small piece of biodegradable styrofoam packing material. The dog weighs about 25 pounds, is 1.5 years old, and is half Labrador and half Chihuahua. The piece of styrofoam is about 1.5 inches by 0.5 inch and is soft and squishable. The dog ate it about 20 minutes ago and is currently acting normal. What should I do?

I just got a miniature poodle named Charlie, and he is pooping diarrhea with blood in the stool. He seems more thirsty than normal, and we just fed him a spoonful of soft puppy food and milk. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Freya, a 2-year-old miniature poodle, was diagnosed with eclampsia and had low calcium levels. She received IV fluids, medications, and calcium supplements. She has been anxious, panting, and her puppies have not nursed since yesterday morning. Her calcium level was 0.82 upon release from the hospital. I am concerned she was released too soon and her condition is worsening. What should I do?
