My dog, Ruby, a 11-year-old Chihuahua Rat Terrier weighing around 8 to 9 pounds, has started having bloody diarrhea. She hasn't shown any signs of increased thirst, vomiting, or weakness, but she has a habit of eating animal droppings from under the deck. Should I take her to the emergency vet, or is there a way to manage this at home?

My 7-month-old dog, Bobby, woke up not eating, vomited yellow bile and some ingested items from Friday, and is not his usual self. He drank a little water and ate ice cubes. Should I worry, and what should I do?

I have a 3-month-old female Maltese puppy named Tiki with a cleft lip. She swallowed a large piece of baked chicken jerky treat and has been coughing, gagging, and unable to hold down solid food since. She has been on a liquid diet and seems to be doing better, but I'm concerned about her breathing and overall discomfort. Is it possible that the treat is still stuck in her esophagus, and should I bring her back to the vet or continue with the liquid diet?
