My 7-month-old lab hound puppy, Ash, who is a parvo survivor, has not pooped today. She has been eating well, drinking normally, and has only spit up once. Her tummy is a bit bloated but doesn't seem to bother her. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

My dog, Doc, has blood in his urine. He was found on 12/21/19, is negative for heartworm, and has normal blood work. Today, he didn't eat well, snarled at another dog, and urinated fine but with blood at the end of the stream. Can I give him any pain medication tonight, or should I just wait it out until he can be seen by a veterinarian at 2 PM tomorrow? The dog's abdominal area is also tender.

After discovering a level 1 heart murmur in my 2.5-year-old bichon/poodle/coton de tulear mix due to moderate diarrhea, the vet suggested that grain-free diets contribute to heart murmurs in these breeds. What kind of kibble do you recommend for this dog mix, and what additional monitoring or precautions should be taken?

My 9-year-old Dachshund, Putter, is shivering as if cold, acting very lazy, moving slowly, and groaning when lifted from the stomach or lower area. He still urinates, had a bowel movement last night, and will eat if offered a treat. What could be the issue?

My dachshund, Buster, ate an unknown amount of raw bacon. He is 7 years old, weighs about 12 pounds, and is currently quiet and laying in his bed. I have lost a dachshund to pancreatitis after a similar incident many years ago. What should I do to ensure Buster's safety and health?
