My dog, Gally, who is 7 months old, has been lethargic, vomiting, falling over, and jerking her body after possibly ingesting something poisonous. I'm not sure what she ingested or how much, but I suspect it might be drugs. What should I do?

My dog, Dixie, age 4, has a skin rash that is red, bubbly, irritated, and hot to the touch. Her entire body also has a red tint. She has been scratching and itchy since last week, and the rash became more persistent three days ago. Dixie has been exhibiting stress and anxiety symptoms such as excessive drooling, diarrhea, and a hoarse voice due to barking and howling. She recently moved to another state, which may have contributed to her stress. She also swam in a pond last Sunday, which might have caused a skin infection. What could be causing the rash, and what treatment options are available?

My dog is experiencing nosebleeds, a swollen belly, vomiting blood, and black stool. She is currently at the vet for a blood transfusion and has been diagnosed with thrombocytopenia, not producing enough platelets. The vet is also concerned about her not producing red blood cells after transfusions and her gums turning yellowish. What could be the causes and treatments for these symptoms, and what is the prognosis?

My 9-year-old Yorkie/Scottie mix was diagnosed with diabetes, her blood sugar was 588, and she also has a collapsed trachea. The vet mentioned high calcium levels, suggesting cancer, and recommended euthanasia before her symptoms worsen. I'm unsure what to do and if she's in pain. Can you provide any guidance?
