My dog, Buttons, a 4-year-old Corgi, is hiding and avoiding me. She was fine after a grooming session but started hiding under my desk. She scooted her butt on the floor a couple of weeks ago, which was diagnosed as anal gland issues and expressed. Today, she wouldn't eat or drink until hand-fed and was scooting again, snapping at her back feet as if trying to reach her rear end. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?

My 1 month and 3 weeks old Cocker Spaniel female, Aria, fell from a bed about 80-90 cm high. She cried for about 20 seconds after the fall but has been acting normally since, eating, playing, and sleeping well. I'm concerned about the possibility of internal injuries. What should I look out for and is it necessary to take her to a vet?

My dog, Lucky, a 13-year-old mix of beagle and dalmatian, is having difficulty keeping his head up. He had a severe fall years ago that caused a pinched nerve but fully recovered. Recently, he has been trembling and his hind legs seem weaker. He had an anti-inflammatory medication a year ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sweetie, a heeler/hound mix, vomited three times in the past 24 hours, with the last instance showing a reddish tinge and smaller specks like clotted blood. She has been lethargic since 5pm CST and has eaten new chews recently. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 11lb Chinese Crested dog ate a 6.36oz (180g) Tony's Chocolonely white chocolate bar with 28% cocoa solids. She has vomited dark bile with small pieces of foil and yellow stomach bile in the past hour. She is eating her meals and acting normal. How serious is this cocoa content even after a day and a half after ingestion?

My 1-year-old 70-pound pitbull, Lucifer, ate a whole bottle of 20 regular-strength 600mg ibuprofen tablets about 3 hours ago. He hasn't thrown up since, and I also believe he ate my nightmare medication, but I don't know what it was called as the bottle is destroyed. What should I do?
