My dog, Teddy, has an enlarged right anal gland. He seems uncomfortable and won't jump or run. I expressed some thick liquid from it, which had a little blood. Due to a blizzard, I can't take him to the emergency vet. What should I do?

My dog ate some chocolate, and I gave her peroxide to induce vomiting. She is about 45-50 pounds and ate a 3.4 oz bag of double crisp chocolate balls. How much of a concern is this, and what should I watch for?

Our 12-year-old Yorkie, Freddie, is constipated and in severe discomfort. He has heart failure and is on a lot of medication. He has been trying to go but can't due to his arthritis, and he looks bloated with a hard tummy. He hasn't eaten or drunk since 1:00 AM. What can I give him to help with his constipation?

My brother-in-law's female dog has a UTI. We are in a rural area and cannot get to the vet until after Christmas. Is there anything I can give her? I have nitrofurantoin mono/Mac and doxycycline 100mg capsules on hand, but I'm not sure if they are safe for dogs.
