My collie is having trouble pooping, and when she does, it's only a small amount and she's panting with the effort. This has been going on for over a week, her feces are hard, and she has lost weight. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

We need to put our dog down. The vet is closed today. Do we need a referral from the vet? The dog, Royce, is 15 years old, has not eaten or pooped since Thursday, and has not moved in two days. The vet has been monitoring the situation.

I added a splash of bitters to a gravy I was cooking. My dog, Torra, who weighs 40 lbs, ate about a tablespoon of the gravy 3 hours ago. She hasn't vomited and seems fine. Is she going to be okay?

I have a stray hound dog named Sky who is malnourished, has a rapid breathing rate, a bad odor from her mouth, and is coughing mildly. She also has skin tags and is not drinking much water. What could be wrong with her, and what should I check?

My Shih Tzu found a piece of D-con rat poison while visiting my mother. I do not believe he ate any, but he had it in his mouth for less than 30 seconds. He is almost 15 years old, weighs 15 lbs, and I used a wet towel to wipe out his mouth. Is he okay or what do I need to do?

My dog, Charlie, an 8-year-old weighing approximately 110-115lbs, ate a chocolate marijuana bar containing 80mg of THC about an hour ago. He has not vomited yet and seems fine, but my daughter reports he is a bit shaky. Should I make him vomit, and what should I watch for?
