My 9-month-old dog, Loki, has been licking her vulva even after her heat cycle ended three weeks ago. She has been sleeping more than usual and had a high water intake. Her vulva is slightly puffy but not swollen, and there are no visible sores or lesions. She vomited this morning for the first time but is eating and drinking normally. How can I determine if this behavior is normal, and what steps should I take to check if she is pregnant?

My dog, Kaiya, a 10-year-old weighing 45 lbs, was given carprofen for a pinched nerve in her neck. The carprofen caused digestive upset, and she has since had very liquid diarrhea and vomited undigested rice and carrots after a bland diet. She is more tired than usual and seems to be in pain. She has a history of a sensitive stomach and IBS. What should I do to help her?

I started taking Phentermine (an appetite suppressant) about 3 weeks ago, and coincidentally, my dog has started acting very strange around the same period. He's overly clingy, possessive to the extreme, with heavy panting, restlessness, and an overall state of constant agitation. Is it possible that the ingredients (active or inactive) are somehow causing this elevated state of unrest in him? Could my body be secreting some sort of chemical from the phentermine that is affecting his behavior? I'm worried and would like to know if this is the case, what I can do to help calm him or reverse his restlessness.

My 5-month-old mini pin is vomiting and pooping blood. I need help because I don't get paid until the first.

My dog's front paw pads are pink, tender, and she is limping and frequently licking them. She has a skin condition (dermatitis) and gets Atopica daily. What can I do to help her?

My chihuahua is 61 days pregnant. Her temperature has dropped from 37 degrees to 36.7 degrees, and she hasn't eaten since Friday night. She is very subdued and there is a slight clear discharge. The puppies are very active. Does this mean she is in labor, and should I be concerned if she goes past the 24-hour mark without delivering? What should I do next?
