My sister's boxer dog, around 50 pounds and a year old, may have ingested half of a new hand warmer. The dog has vomited black material and is now sleeping without a fever. What should I do to monitor and manage the situation?

My new dog, a 2-year-old who is 9 weeks postpartum from a c-section, is not going pee or poop in or outside. We’ve been exercising her for walks 4 times a day and she’s only peed once which was yesterday morning. She is accepting treats and drinking some water. We’ve only had her for 48 hours in our home so I know there’s a lot of change being introduced but I’m worried.

What should be the ideal weight for my mini Aussie, Gypsy, who is 8 years old, spayed, and currently weighs 33 lbs? We are preparing for her second tplo surgery and want her to be in the best shape possible.

My dog's back legs are not working right. He is lame for a few minutes upon getting up from his dog bed but it quickly goes away. He is able to run and play normally. No pain. He is 'skidding out' on my floors that are not carpet, at an increasing rate each day. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sparty, is acting very strange after being bitten by a spider a month ago. She has been clingy, jumping on high surfaces, not playing with other dogs, not going to the bathroom in her usual spots, and has strange bowel movements. Her appetite is normal, and there is no vomiting or diarrhea. There have been no recent changes in her environment. What could be causing this behavior and is it safe to wait until our vet appointment on the 19th?
