My 9-week-old puppy has Coccidia and is being treated with Albon. The breeder suggested that antibiotics compromise the immune system and that the natural immune system should fight off the infection. What is your professional opinion on this, and what would be the likely outcome if we had followed the breeder's recommendation and only given the puppy Kaopectate?

I let my 6-year-old Daschund out into the backyard and noticed him eating a piece of a chicken leg bone. I managed to pull out a 2-3 inch piece, but I'm unsure how much he ate before I intervened. It's been roughly 30 minutes, and he has eaten his dinner, drank, and shows no symptoms. What should I do, and how is it treated if he develops symptoms such as abdominal pain or diarrhea?

My dog suddenly began sticking her tongue in and out and is randomly hacking as if something is stuck in her throat. She is eating and drinking and still alert. What could be causing this and what should I do?

We have a Maltese terrier mix that likes to lick our skin. Is that a sign she is lacking something? She is 18 months old.

Our dog groomer noticed yellow grainy discharge from our dog's anal glands during a routine clearing. The dog has recently been scooting, but not regularly. Additionally, the dog is overweight and has been experiencing issues with fecal matter sticking to her rear after defecation, which is a recent problem.
