My 7-year-old Great Dane has been treated for IBS for two years, experiencing symptoms like reflux and vomiting. After a recent vomiting episode, she was treated with Cerenia, Omeprazole, Ondansetron, and Famotidine. She was fed a diet of boiled chicken with white rice, including ginger, miso broth, and dried onion flakes, and introduced to Purina Calm probiotic. However, she developed bloody gelatinous diarrhea. What should I give her to solidify her stool, and how should I clean the environment to prevent infection spreading to her sister or other dogs?

My dog, Myrtle, has sudden swelling in her face. She is 5 years old and has had some bladder infections in the past, but nothing serious. What could be causing this swelling and what should I do?

I have a 7-year-old lab mix dog named Marley with a swollen back leg and paw. He is still eating, drinking, and has normal bowel movements but will not walk on it. Should I bring him to an emergency vet or wait until Monday to see my regular vet? He has no fever, normal eyes, and is not licking the swelling. He is not on any medication, and this has been going on for about four days, but it seems worse today. He has no pre-existing conditions.

Our three 20lb dogs got into Baileys. One dog, Buki, who is 4 years old, is walking sideways, stumbles sometimes, and can't jump on the couch. They haven't thrown up since consuming the alcohol. What should we do, and what should we look for?

My dog, Ava, age 9, weighing 165 pounds, ate 2 uncooked Pillsbury Grande biscuits. She has not vomited since eating them and is acting normally. Should I be concerned about any potential issues, and is there anything specific I should watch for?

Our dog, Baylee, a 2.5-year-old mixed breed rescue, has been uncontrollably scratching for 3 weeks, leading to fur loss and skin sores. She is on a flea preventative, but we spotted one flea recently. The worst area is above her tail, and she has extreme thirst but not much urination. She is also crying and not eating much. We recently returned from Block Island, where she swam in salt water. What could be causing this, and what steps should we take to help her?
