My 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier female, Patchy, has been on metacam for about 2 years at the recommended dosage. Yesterday, she had bloody stool and vomiting. The vet's bloodwork showed liver enzymes at over 1000 and high kidney values. She also has pancreatitis. Will discontinuing the metacam bring the bloodwork values back to normal?

My dog, Ellie, ate a piece of chocolate candy that is 45% cacao. She weighs 26 lbs and it was a small piece, likely less than an ounce. Should I take her to the vet?

My yorkie mix has red flaky/crusty sores all over his belly, some large and some smaller. I've taken him to the vet and they gave me a solution to spray, which didn't help. The sores on his back have somewhat gone away, but those on his belly and under his pits on his front and back legs haven't. He's very allergic to fleas and has always had huge skin sensitivity. I've been treating it with a solution for wounds and hot spot solution. The areas aren't bald, and he licks them but doesn't chew on them. He sleeps through the night just fine without licking them etc. What could be causing this and what are the next steps to treat it?

My dog hasn't been pooping and shows no urge to do so, despite not appearing constipated. She was diagnosed with a bowel infection and given Flagyl, but still hasn't had a bowel movement since Saturday. She eats and drinks normally, doesn't vomit, and urinates like usual. She also doesn't show signs of straining or urgency to go. What could be the issue and what should I do to help her?

I have a 7-month-old Pomeranian diagnosed with conjunctivitis and now experiencing vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and lethargy. He has little appetite and is straining to poop. What could be causing these symptoms and what home care can I provide?
