My male dachshund, Tj, is 10 years old and has had occasional blood in his stool for years. My vet suggested it might be polyps. He is otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks normally, but lately has blood in every bowel movement. He shows no signs of pain or discomfort. Very occasionally, he has diarrhea, which only occurs when he eats Lil' Cesar's wet food, something he does rarely. Could this be Ulcerative Colitis/Colitis or something else?

My dog ate triple 13 fertilizer. Will he die? He is a 6-month-old Boxador weighing about 35lbs. He ate the fertilizer Tuesday afternoon and since then, he has been vomiting, drooling, and has diarrhea. His belly is tender, and his gums are pale and white. What should I do?

I purchased a lemon and lime tree and used organic Espoma citrus tone fertilizer. My dog, Bella, ate a small amount of the fertilizer solution. What are the potential health risks for Bella, and should I take any action?

My 4-year-old dog has been in labor for about 12 hours. In the last two hours, she has become frantic, clingy, and I see very small amounts of dark green mucus and a tiny amount of blood. This is her third litter. Just saw her push uncontrollably for the first time 5 minutes ago. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

My dog stayed at my in-laws' house in a canyon in San Diego. When he came back, his left eye was only about 75% open, his eyelashes were scratched raw from his paw, and his paw was a little red. What could be causing this and what should I do?
