My 10-year-old, 90 lb., female yellow lab, Chloe, started having noticeable issues on July 10 when she vomited her dinner. Since then, she has been vomiting yellow, foamy bile, drinking lots of water, and refusing food. She was diagnosed with a bladder infection and given antibiotics, but couldn't keep them down. An X-ray revealed an enlarged liver and spleen, leading to a suspicion of cancer. Chloe was rehydrated and given anti-vomiting and pain medications, but she still isn't eating and continues to vomit her medicines. What could be causing her symptoms and what further tests or treatments should be considered?

My dog is on Frontline Plus, but it doesn't seem to be working. She is scratching her belly till it bleeds due to fleas and ticks. What else can I do for her to relieve her itching and prevent further infestation?

My 10-month-old Rottweiler puppy frequently whines or yelps, especially at night after laying down or after playing hard. My husband thinks it's growing pains or attention-seeking, but I'm concerned. Hip dysplasia isn't a family issue, and he's been on large breed puppy food. What could be causing this, and what can I do without resorting to expensive x-rays?

My 11-year-old German Shepherd has been making unusual digestive sounds for the past few days and has been vomiting a clear, jelly-like substance frequently. He has bad hips, a tumor in his stomach, and weighs about 85 pounds. He's on a special diet of Royal Canin prescription food. What could be causing this and what should I do?
