Hi. I have a dog named Bella who is 4 years old and has been having diarrhea for the past two days. She ate Yogdog mixed with whip cream a day before. She also vomited in the first 24 hours, and her stool has been runny, then mucousy, and now less of that but not fully formed. What should I do and when should I worry and take her to a vet?

My 10-week-old English setter puppy, Ella, ate 3 grapes. The vet induced vomiting, but only a small piece of grape came out. The vet recommended expensive blood tests and hospitalization, which I cannot afford. How should I monitor Ella, and how can I prevent her from eating non-food items like paint and metallic paint?

My 12-year-old dog, Molly, has been having trouble controlling her bladder and bowels, is more thirsty, has slimy bowel movements, and seems more tired than usual. She also has issues with being overweight and a bad hind leg. What could be causing these issues and how can I help her without going broke?

My dog is vomiting blood, has a large mass on her stomach that recently broke up, and is bleeding from her mouth. What should I do?

My 5-pound, 11-year-old Yorkie named Cassie has a collapsed trachea and experiences coughing and gas when picked up, which compresses her stomach. She has been dealing with this for several years and has seen multiple vets, including the Bush Clinic in Richmond. She has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure but was later cleared of a heart murmur by Virginia Tech. She is currently taking zonisamide twice a day to prevent seizures, benedryl, cough tabs, hydrocodone, and prednisone for her cough, and hound honey four times daily. What should I know about managing her collapsed trachea and her current medications?
