My dog, Heidi, a border collie adopted in 2016, has been shaking her head and has a red ear inside. I noticed this while fishing yesterday. She had a vet visit last month for a lump on her chest, and the vet looked in her ear then, which seems to be when the head shaking started. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My female cocker spaniel, who is turning 12, has a tumor over her spleen and kidney, anemia, and has lost 4 kg. The vet recommended an operation, but her platelets are low. They gave her a blood transfusion and cortisone for chemotherapy, but her platelets are still low. What should I do: operate to remove the tumor or consider euthanasia?

My dog, Beatrice, a 5-year-old 18-pound dog, got into some chocolate chips from the trash about 10 minutes ago. I didn't see how many she ate, but there weren't many in the trash. She hasn't thrown up yet. What should I do?

My dog, Yoshi, a 60-pound, 1.5-year-old, ate a piece of his polyfoam kennel bed about 2-4 hours ago. There were a couple of small pieces around, but the majority was nowhere to be found. What should I do to ensure he passes the material safely?

My dog, Bella, is vomiting and has diarrhea with blood sometimes. This has been going on for a week, and the vomit is clear with green grass. Bella is 11 months old and weighs between 30 to 50 lbs. Her appetite is off and on, but she drinks plenty of water. She also eats feces, which could be contributing to her condition. What should I do to help Bella?
