My 15-year-old Bichon, Nahmi, recently experienced sudden onset of very bloody ulcerative colitis. He was seen just 10 days prior with an unremarkable exam and normal blood tests. After a walk, he had a large volume of bright red, bloody stool with only bits of fecal material. I live in a retirement community where herbicides like Cheetah and Tech Trim are frequently sprayed, and my dog often licks areas that may have been in contact with these chemicals. Is there a possibility that the herbicide caused his hemorrhagic colitis?

My dog ingested grapes, but I'm not sure how many. What should I do to help my dog, and should I induce vomiting?

My recently adopted shelter dog began coughing about a week ago, sounding like she has a hairball or something in her throat. Now, my other dog has started coughing similarly. They are not coughing constantly, and the new dog's lethargy is uncertain due to recent adoption. She received a bordatella shot at the shelter before adoption. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi, my dog Henry started having diarrhea mid-day today and threw up the chicken and rice I gave him. He's a 16-month-old Shih Tzu/Bichon mix who likes to pick up random things on the sidewalk. What could be causing this and what should I do?
