My 14-year-old Maltese dog, Bubbles, has been diagnosed with ITP and has low red blood cells. She has been experiencing symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and has had dark stool and blood in her vomit. She has been receiving transfusions and is currently on several medications including sildenafil, pimobendan, prednisone, mycophenolate, omeprazole, CERENIA, metronidazole, metoclopromide, and sucralfate. Her platelets dropped to 0 after starting plavix, and her red blood cell count has been fluctuating. She recently stopped breathing during sleep and required emergency intervention. What are the next steps for testing or treatment to address her condition and prevent future episodes?

Our dog, Darla, a 9-year-old Pekingese, started foaming at the mouth and developed pink bumps on her lips and chin after being in the backyard. We suspect she might have had an allergic reaction to a cactus-type plant. What could be causing this, and what should we look out for in terms of symptoms?

What could be causing this and what should we do until we can see the vet tomorrow morning?

I have a full-grown dog that is still in the chewing phase and has ruined the couch. Are leather rawhide bones at the store okay for him to destroy, or is there something better? Will he eventually outgrow trying to eat the furniture, and what chew toys do you recommend?

I am pet sitting a pregnant Shih Tzu mix who is experiencing severe breathing problems, including mucus from one nostril and gasping episodes. What can I do at home to help her with her breathing, as I cannot afford to take her to a vet and her owners are unavailable?
