I am a first-time dog owner with a 24-month-old, male, purebred Pit Bull named Kane. He has severe allergies causing sneezing and red eyes, and he exhibits unusual behavior such as constant ejaculation despite not being neutered. Is his allergy condition requiring immediate medical attention, and is his constant ejaculation normal or a sign of health issues?

One or both of our 27-lb bichons, Daffy and Dilly, ate a large bag of peanut M&Ms. What should we do to ensure their safety and what are the potential risks of chocolate toxicity?

My small Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, Coco, is constantly experiencing back issues, likely due to a slipped disc. She has been on Carprofen, but the vet only provides a 5-day dose, and I can't afford repeated visits. Is there a way to give her a human anti-inflammatory, and if so, what and what dose? Additionally, I started Glucosamine with Chondroitin. Can this be given concurrently with aspirin, and if so, what dose would be appropriate, and can it be given permanently?

My 7-pound Maltese has blood in her stool, which has been goopy and runny, with blood only appearing this morning. I think she may have eaten a grape remnant from my bird. She is otherwise fine, playful, eating, and all else normal. We feed her boiled chicken breast and grain-free kibble. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have an appointment to euthanize my 11 1/2 year old lab today due to glaucoma, possible melanoma behind the eye, and a probable spleen tumor. My vet advised euthanasia, but I needed time. After receiving pain medication, my dog's behavior improved significantly, making me unsure if I'm making the right decision. What should I consider in this situation?
