My 4-year-old bulldog, Paco, was diagnosed with stage 4 heartworms based on a blood test and has pale gums and a swollen stomach. He has an active lifestyle and a heart murmur. I am concerned about the success rate of surgically removing the heartworms and the treatment options available, especially given my limited funds.

I took my dog, Claire, out to use the restroom and noticed that a lot of her poop has a raspberry color. She is 14 years old and has a great appetite. I'm not sure if she ate anything unusual, but she likes to get into the trash. What could be causing this color change in her stool, and what should I do?

Our 22-pound dachshund, Harley, ate approximately 10 Russel Stover assorted chocolates, including 4 dark chocolates. He seems to have a tummy ache but no other symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea. What is the best course of action? Should we take him to the vet emergency or is there something else we can do?

My dog just picked up bait that had acephate (poison for fire ants). I flushed her mouth. Is it anything else I should do? She’s a 11lb chihuahua.

I took my 6-year-old Chihuahua, Taz, to the vet for a persistent cough that has been going on for 6 days. The vet prescribed cough syrup without seeing Taz, and I am concerned about the legality and appropriateness of this situation. Taz has a dry, horrible cough that ends in gagging, and I am worried about his condition. What should I do next?
