My 1.5-year-old dog had explosive diarrhea and vomit twice roughly 36 hours ago. She was put on a bland diet for about 24-28 hours, and now she has passed soft, loose stool with bright red blood traces. She got into the trash and possibly ate something unusual. What should I do?

My 55lb, 6-year-old yellow lab, Abigail, pulled a pork rib bone from the trash and swallowed a small amount of it. I tried to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide but she hasn't vomited. I can't get her to the vet until the morning. Should I feed her regularly, and how should I proceed?

I have an 8-week-old puppy. My son-in-law came over with a salmon last night and wiped blood on his pant leg. My daughter saw the puppy near his leg and isn't sure if he licked the blood or just sniffed it. I'm concerned about salmon poisoning. How soon do symptoms appear, and does my puppy need a dewormer at 8 weeks?

My dog, Riley, a 9-year-old Chihuahua, has been experiencing a runny nose, labored breathing, shivering, and losing fur around his neck. He also has been coughing and his breathing became strange this morning. He has been through the addition of two new dogs in the house due to family changes. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help him?

My American Staffordshire Terrier, Deja, has an extremely red rash on her thighs and groin area. She has had it for a while and has been on two types of antibiotics, ointment, and shampoo. The rash worsened after boarding her at a kennel for 9 days. She has a history of sensitivity in this area but has always cleared up before. What could be causing this rash and what should I do?
