My dog, Mazy, who will be 10 in February 2020, is recovering from an ulcer that bled into the stool. The bleeding started before Thanksgiving, and treatment began on November 25th with Sucralfate, Entofloxacin, and Famotidine. On December 2nd, Mirtazapine 7.5 was added once a day. We've tried various foods like fresh chicken, peanut butter, cottage cheese, broth, canned dog food, and pumpkin to encourage eating, but we're still forcing the food as there are no signs of appetite. What else should we know or do?

Is it okay to treat my diabetic dog, Spanky, with honey and vinegar home remedies? He has had diabetes for almost four years, has bladder stones due to a urinary tract infection, is blind, and was recently attacked by another dog, resulting in the use of steroids and muscle relaxers. His peeing has become painful since starting these medications.

My 10-week-old puppy, Marlee, has had to go pee about 15 times in the last 30 minutes. She is very restless and won't sit still because of it. She doesn't appear to be in pain, and she has had two rounds of vaccinations. What could be causing this frequent urination?

While rubbing my dog's tummy, I noticed that one of his nipples is swollen. I was rubbing his tummy just a couple of days ago and it looked normal. The dog, Toby, is a 5-year-old basset/beagle/german shepherd mix, fixed and has never had any serious health problems. He has not been licking the area, and there is no discharge. What could be causing the swelling, and what should I do?

My dog, Roaseanna, a year and a half old and weighing about 40lbs, ate about 2 cups of mixed nuts from my snack bag in my purse. It happened within the last 30 minutes, and she hasn't vomited yet. She is very anxious and can get protective or angry with anyone other than family. Should I induce vomiting, and what should I do if she starts showing GI symptoms?
