I’m vaccinating a stray dog for distemper, which is common in the country in which I live. This particular stray moves around somewhat. Is there flexibility in the dates the subsequent doses can be given? The dog is about 2 years old.

My dog, Nugget, a 6-year-old spayed female, is experiencing heavy breathing, lethargy, loss of appetite for 3 days, runny nose, difficulty moving, pale gums, and has been spitting up yellow stomach bile. She also has a history of spraining her left back leg two weeks ago but was still active. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate actions should I take?

My Doberman, Creidos, is 6 years old and has major abscessed teeth, not eating, lost all body weight, had blood in stool, sores in mouth, bleeding swollen gums, droopy eyes with discharge, and is generally in poor health. He can't get into a regular vet and the urgent care isn't open till after 6. What should I do?

My dog, Bella, a 3-year-old lab mix weighing 50-60lbs, ate at least 8 maximum strength Ex Lax pills. She has not vomited and is currently acting normally. What should I do and what are the potential effects on her health?

Our dog, a 60lb boxer named Pearl who is 8 years old, ate a large hollow Lindt bunny chocolate during a hike. She is currently on Proin for dog pee issues and is otherwise healthy. She has not vomited or had diarrhea, but she did not eat her dinner initially. What should we watch for, and is there anything we can do to prevent an adverse reaction?
