My 5-month-old chihuahua, Nelson, is not eating or drinking, feels lifeless, and has lost some weight. He is also more tired than usual and won't come out of his bed. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Mimi, who is 1 year old, has been experiencing frequent urination, mostly dribbles, and had an accident in her kennel last night, which is unusual. This started yesterday. She has also been spending more time inside due to a new fence installation. Could this be a UTI, and what should I do?

My dog has a gouge on his gum line near a front incisor, which has started bleeding unexpectedly. I noticed blood coming out between the gum line and the tooth after I accidentally pressed on the area. Later, there was more blood on the floor and in his mouth, but it stopped after giving him water. What could be causing this bleeding?

We started treating pullets with antibiotics for an eye infection, but there's hard yellow pus trapped in the inner corner of one pullet's eye. She's too small and weak to hold down for removal. Will the pus work itself out, or should it be removed? Additionally, we suspect the pullets have 'sour crop' from the antibiotics. How long should they be on antibiotics, and can probiotics like water kefir help?

My 8lb, 10-month-old Havanese puppy, Mylo, ingested a Cal/Mag vitamin capsule (390mg/195mg) around 7am. He was lethargic, had red and watery eyes, and wouldn't eat his breakfast. By 9am, he seemed to be getting better but is still very sleepy and hasn't eaten. Should I be concerned about long-term damage, and should he be seen by a vet today?

My mixed Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher has bad breath and needs a tooth extraction, but I can't afford it right now due to financial difficulties. What safe pain medications can I give him for his toothache, and what other care can I provide in the meantime?
