My dog, Major, is experiencing very watery diarrhea with blood. He has pooped in the house three times today, with increasing amounts of blood. He hasn't drunk any water today, and his water bowl is still full. He has been chewing on things around the house, but I don't know if he ate anything unusual. He's about a year old and we got him from a shelter a week ago, so we don't know his medical history. What should I do?

My dog, Precious, just had surgery for a complete ACL tear and a torn meniscus. She will be staying in the hospital overnight and will need physical therapy. What should I look for in a physical therapist and how should I manage her post-surgery care, including medication administration and potential liver issues?

My dog licked a toad and is now acting strangely, staggering, coughing, and staying close to me. The dog is 61 pounds and licked the toad about 10 minutes ago. She has licked toads before but never acted like this. What should I do?
