My dog, Nala, has started having bloody bowel movements and vomiting. She ate a sandwich and some cat food recently. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just picked my pug, Roxy, up from dog boarding. She has a swollen area and some dried blood underneath her right eye (external, not in the eye), which is watering slightly but doesn't seem to bother her. She isn't licking or rubbing the area, and is eating and acting normally. Could this wait until I see her vet tomorrow, or should I take her to an emergency vet today?

My 8 1/2-year-old Rottweiler had a seizure on Friday morning and is not eating or drinking much. He weighs about 90 lbs. The decreased appetite started after the seizure. What should I do?

I just brought home a liter of newborn puppies, half French Bulldog and half Cockapoo. One puppy keeps having milk come out its nose. I have been using an electric baby suck to get it out. What else can I do?

My 10-year-old, 13 lb male dog, Scooby, who is not neutered and has a heart murmur, hasn't been able to pee for the past 24 hours, only drips. He is also not eating or drinking much, seems more tired than usual, and gets up to walk outside to try to pee but to no avail. He does not seem to be in pain, and his breath is normal. What could be the issue, and what should I do?
