My 4-month-old Pomsky, Milo, has been experiencing diarrhea for the past two nights. He pooped fine during the day but has had diarrhea at night, causing him to cry and strain to poop outside. He is eating normally and acting fine otherwise. I recently got him and scheduled a vet appointment for Sunday. I haven't changed his diet, but I was on vacation for a couple of weeks and had a coworker watch him. He was fine then, but I woke up to explosive diarrhea yesterday. I also gave him a flea and tick preventative before I left. Could this be due to something he ate in the yard, roundworms, or the flea and tick treatment? Should I switch him to boiled chicken and rice for now, and can I start him on Simparica Trio once his diarrhea resolves?

My dog, Cali, is showing increasing aggression, including fear reactivity, aggression towards other dogs, and aggression towards people touching her. She has bitten multiple times. I have tried using trazadone and gabapentin but not regularly. What should I do to address this issue and find a reputable behaviorist?

We need to speak to someone about our dog, King, a 14-year-old lab, snoozer mix. He has a large tumor on his back left leg and seems to be in pain, starting to lick the skin around it. What should we do?

My dog, Chelsea, a 16-month-old weighing about 20 lbs, ate 4 pieces of chocolate candy (a couple of Hershey Kisses and a couple of Lindt truffles) while I was out for 45 minutes. She hasn't thrown up yet and doesn't seem to have eaten much of her food this morning. Do I need to seek treatment for her?

My dog, Mila, a 9.5-year-old overweight dog, has been experiencing red eyes and frequent ear scratching. She was prescribed eye ointment by a vet two weeks ago, but I'm unsure if she has allergies. Additionally, she sleeps a lot and has difficulty with stairs. What should I do to address these issues?
