We have a new 5-month-old puppy named Portia who has frequent urination, both in the house and crate, and outside in small bits and dribbles. She also licks her genitals frequently. We are concerned it could be a urinary tract infection (UTI). She drinks frequently and eats well but is not lethargic. She may also have worms and has been given a dewormer. Her stools are solid but very soft and light brown. We are keeping her crated due to other pets and take her out frequently, but it seems not frequently enough as she can only last about 30-40 minutes between urinations. What should we do until her first vet visit, which is in over a week?

My 14 lb Chihuahua Spaniel, Bruce, who is 8 years old, may have eaten a used tampon about 1-2 hours ago. He hasn't vomited since then and hasn't had any food or water. What should I do?

My 2-year-old Husky, Kota, has been experiencing loss of appetite and bloody diarrhea for about 4 days. He has found a few ticks in his fur but none have latched on. He is eating about half his normal amount, drinking the same amount of water, and has diarrhea 3-4 times a day. He seems more tired than usual but is not in pain or vomiting. What should I do?

My dog, Armani, was bitten by an insect and now he can't stand up straight, is falling to the side, and his mouth seems frozen. His heart rate and breathing are okay, but he's been like this for about 3 hours. What could be causing this and what should I do?
