My dog, Tyson, a 10-year-old male Boxer, has kidney disease and is anemic. My vet is not comfortable treating him due to lack of knowledge about chronic kidney disease (CKD). I believe he needs medication like erythropoietin to stimulate red blood cell production. What can I do to help my dog, and what are the recommended treatments or supplements for his condition?

I have two dogs, Molly and Chase, who have been sneezing frequently for the past 2-3 days, with clear nasal discharge and yellow/green eye discharge in one dog. Both are up to date on vaccinations, and I gave them Benadryl for suspected allergies, but the symptoms continue. Should I take them to the emergency vet, or is this a 'wait and see' situation? Could this be allergies, a cold, flu, or infection?

My dad found the mouse poison block trap box ripped open and no poison blocks left. Four dogs, weighing 10, 12, and 20 pounds, may have ingested the poison. There are no signs of vomiting. What should we do to safely induce vomiting if needed, and what is the recommended treatment for dogs that have ingested mouse poison?

My poodle Layla is acting sad and won’t eat much, just sleeping. She usually wants to eat everything and always runs around, but now she just lays on her bed. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain, but we recently took her to get groomed and the lady cut off all her hair, which we didn’t want. Since then, she’s been acting funny. Layla is 5 years old, and I noticed one of her eyes looks like it’s turning blue. Is there anything else the Vet should know?

My dog was bitten by a rat about an hour ago. The bite is under his eye, and I have cleaned it with antiseptic and applied neosporin. My dog is due for a rabies shot in about a week or two. What should I do?
