I have an 8-week-old Golden Retriever puppy named Willow who has been urinating frequently and acting like she is trying to poop. She also had a small amount of bile vomit last night and got into some potentially toxic plants in my backyard. What should I do?

My dog, a 2.5-year-old 50lbs red and blue heeler, ate half a small bag of grain-free dog food about an hour ago. He seems fine but is hiding, possibly because he thinks he's in trouble. He's been drinking water and I can hear light stomach noises. What should I do and what signs should I watch for?

I am considering purchasing a Chihuahua puppy that has alopecia. What should I know before making this decision, and is any treatment needed? How will this condition affect the dog, other than losing hair?

I have a 13-year-old female mini dachshund named Lily. She was perfectly fine yesterday, but overnight, she lost her balance and collapsed, showing no strength to lift her head. She is not whining, indicating she may not be in pain. Her eyes stay focused straight ahead, and she doesn't respond to her name. She last saw a vet over a year ago and is not on any medication. What could be causing this sudden loss of balance and strength, and what should I do?

I have a 20 lb American Cocker Spaniel named Polly, approximately 4 1/2 years old, who has been treated for severe diarrhea with metronidazole and amoxicillin and is near the end of her 5-day treatment. She is responding well but has recently started licking her rear in a near frenzied manner. I have given her a 20 mg pill of Benadryl with no relief and have gabapentin on hand. What could be causing this behavior and what suggestions do you have for relief?
