My 5-year-old Chihuahua has been jumping up and yelping in pain, both while laying alone and on the couch. She has only eaten cooked chicken today, her belly is a little bloated and firm, and her bowels sound active. She allows me to palpate her legs and belly without pulling away. Her food was changed about 3-4 days ago, but she hasn’t been eating it well as she tends to be a picky eater. What could be causing her pain, and what should I do?

My 13-year-old dog, Hunter, has been pooping more frequently over the last 3 months, going from 2-3 times a day to 3-5 times a day. His poop looks normal, and he eats premium dry food (Wellness). There has been no diet change, and he acts normal otherwise, though he seems to be slowing down due to possible arthritis in his hips. Is this increase in bowel movements normal for senior dogs?

My brother's dog ate 3 grams of marijuana last night and is now lethargic, not eating or drinking, with dilated eyes, a sticking-out tongue, and wobbly movements. What should we do?

My dog consumed some Coppertone Kids tear-free mineral-based formula sunscreen. Is it toxic to her? The dog ingested at most 3 or 4 ounces of the lotion, weighs 75 pounds, and has not vomited yet.

My 9-week-old Frenchie puppy, Niko, ate one AZO Urinary Tract Relief Maximum Strength pill. He weighs over 6 lbs and it's been about 20 minutes since he ate it. He hasn't vomited and is acting normally. What should I do?

Hi. I’m on vacation with my dog and noticed a worm-like thing in his stool. I’m worried he may have a parasitic infection, but none of the vets in the area have appointments available. Is this something that can be diagnosed/triaged through telemedicine?
