My 4-year-old male dachshund wakes up nauseous some mornings, eats grass, and vomits it with yellowish bile about 3-4 times a month. His last blood work was normal. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My fox terrier ate a few acorns yesterday and has been vomiting several times, including after eating boiled chicken and rice. She is still eating grass and throwing up. Should I take her to the vet?

My 11-year-old basset hound, Moses, experiences severe spells every other day involving involuntary movement of his right leg, restlessness, pounding heart rate, shortness of breath, and shaking back legs. He recently had a tumor removed from his dorsal thorax, diagnosed as well-differentiated chondrosarcoma. He has had these spells before the tumor removal and recently had an EKG and X-ray, showing an enlarged heart. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

My 5-month-old Irish setter spaniel mix puppy has had diarrhea for about 12 hours. The stool is thin, watery, and contains some mucus, but no blood. The puppy ate 1 ounce of intense dark chocolate 24 hours ago and has been socializing with other dogs. The puppy is up-to-date on vaccines, heartguard, and flea/tick prevention, and had a previous episode of hookworm infection a month ago. Is this another episode of hookworm, or is the chocolate the cause? Should I induce vomiting, use charcoal, or change the diet? Should the puppy's activity be restricted?

I have a 7-year-old Miniature Pinscher, possibly mixed, who had a lump at one year of age. Now, more lumps have appeared. I prefer to speak live. Is that possible?
