My 6-year-old neutered Morkie, Gangsta, has recently started defecating in the house, especially at night or early morning. He has been on the same diet of hard food, Tru Dog Fortify Boost Me, and Doggie Dailies for years, and we spray his food with fish oil. He was prescribed gabapentin for anxiety, but it hasn't helped. His stool is sometimes normal, other times softer, and he drinks water normally but sometimes skips meals. What could be causing this behavior, and what steps should I take to address it?

My dog, Gigi, a 2-year-old weighing 9 lbs, ate unsalted mixed nuts (mostly cashews, almonds, pecans, and possibly some macadamia nuts) while I was on a phone call. I'm not sure how many she ate. What should I do, and are there any symptoms I should watch out for?

I am fostering a puppy who is about 8-10 weeks old. He accidentally ate a small piece of a zip tie, about a couple mm in length. He seems fine now, but is there anything I should do or watch for in case it becomes an issue? Is this an emergency?

My dog, Kristoff, is stiff and having trouble walking. He is about six months old and was covered in ticks when we got him a couple of months ago. His symptoms seem to match Lyme disease. What could be causing his stiffness and what should I do?

My dog, Riley, a 3-year-old weighing just under 50 lbs, swallowed a single raisin last night around 9:30 PM. She hasn't vomited since. Should I be concerned, and what should I watch for? How long until I know she is in the clear?

My dog, Charlie, a 3-year-old, has been chewing his fur off and rubbing his eyes for a few months. He also occasionally chews the top of his paws and licks his paw pads. There are no rashes, and he has been eating real food for about 4-5 months. What could be causing this behavior, and what can I do to help him?
