My dog, Buck, had surgery for a leg abscess and now has an open wound that looks like it needs stitches. The wound is bleeding slightly and the scab has torn off, exposing tissue and muscle. Should we wait until his follow-up appointment tomorrow morning, or is immediate action required?

I have a 3-month-old Cavapoo named Golden who has not been eating well since eating two boiled eggs on Friday. He has been gagging but has not vomited. His energy level remains the same, but he has not eaten since midnight. I usually feed him a diet that is 60% homemade and 40% commercially made dog food. What could be causing his decreased appetite, and should I be concerned?

My dog, Dier, a 4-year-old blue American Pit Bull, has been drinking water excessively for about a week and has stopped eating his dog food in the last two days. He seems to want more cuddles but is not showing signs of pain or unusual tiredness. My son mentioned he might be constipated. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Maggie, a 2-3 year old weighing 50lbs, ate banana bread with 14g of bakers chocolate and monkfruit sweetener about 50 minutes ago. She has not vomited and is drinking a lot of water. What should I do?

My 13-year-old pug, Bug, has been experiencing diarrhea for over a week. She had 2 inches of her intestines removed when she was younger. Despite trying remedies like psyllium husk and kaolin/pectin, the diarrhea persists. She drinks a lot of water and has started peeing in the house. Her appetite remains good, but her face looks a bit gaunt. What else can be done or prescribed without needing blood tests?
