I have a 3-month-old puppy named Leona who has shown signs of what seems like aggression, such as growling and snapping at my hands when I try to take something away. I noticed this behavior a couple of days ago. She also growled at another puppy when it walked by while she was eating a treat. What could be causing this behavior and how can I address it?

My 8-week-old puppy, Nala, may have ingested some fire ant killer about 30 minutes ago. She weighs a little over 6 pounds and has not vomited since ingesting the ant killer. She drank water and ate her food shortly after and is currently acting fine. What should I do?

My dog, Astro, a 1-year-old, cries when I touch his tail and won't wag it anymore. He only shows pain when I touch his tail or when he sits on it. Could his tail be broken or is it possibly related to his anal glands?
