My 6.5-year-old lab retriever cross had an allergic reaction to a rabies shot and started NSAIDs and glucosamine supplements a week ago. His eye swelled, he has had constipation and diarrhea with blood streaks, is eating grass and vomiting bile daily, and is acting strange and restless. The vet said he was restless due to arthritis and prescribed NSAIDs and glucosamine. I've stopped these meds for 24 hours, and he just ate some rice. He turned in circles and defecated in the house, which he never does. Do you think the meds caused the problem, and should I wait to see if it improves?

My puppy, Coby, vomited mucus yesterday morning and now has mucus in his stool along with white clumps. He is a picky eater and only eats soft, chunky stew puppy food. He has been playful but lethargic at times. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My extra large Springer Spaniel is on thyroid medication and Inmufilt for allergies. He breathes hard a lot. We live in Mexico, which is very dusty. Does he seem to be breathing hard after exercise more or is the breathing hard random? Is he coughing? Is he still eating and drinking? Is he still active?

My dog, Rebel, has been very sleepy, possibly in discomfort, and has a large bump on his right side near his hind leg. He eats non-food items and has a history of high fevers and overnight vet stays for antibiotics. How can I determine if he has an intestinal obstruction or another issue, and what tests should I request from my vet?

My dog was in a tiff with another dog and now has a closed, watering right eye that is slightly swollen. I used lubricant eye drops and Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment. Did I do wrong by doing this, and is there anything I can do for him until I can get him to the vet next Tuesday?

My dog, Caddo, an eight-year-old healthy Lab mix weighing about 50 lbs, may have eaten a tomcat. There is evidence on her teeth. Should I be concerned about poisoning, and what immediate actions should I take?
