My dog, Diva, an Exotic Bully, has had a UTI for two weeks, with symptoms including a drop of blood in her urine and a noticeable smell. She also has a history of a skin rash and a flat face. What should I do?

We just got home from vacation and noticed our 20-week-old puppy, Barley, is very skinny, has been vomiting in his crate, and is filthy. He had a bath, but his temperament is very depressed, he's not eating, and he has had purple-ish liquid diarrhea. He has zero energy, cries when I leave the room, and doesn't interact with his dog siblings. What could be wrong and what should we do?

On 7/23, I took my teacup puppy, Lil 1, to an emergency pet hospital because her eyes had mucus and her fur was falling out. The vet said she was negative for parvo but was being stabilized with fluids and an eye stain. After being charged $175 + $99.99, she came home appearing worse, unable to stand, with lice, and refusing to eat. I returned her to the hospital, where they asked for $500 to continue treatment. After my credit card was processed, they said the $500 was for stabilization. The vet prescribed medications and said she was on fluids and ate well, but she was still wobbly and slightly better. They charged $236 for the meds but not for consultations. The vet believes she has parasites and possibly a tapeworm. I feel they should do more treatments for the $500, but they are sending her home with just meds. How do I know if they are treating her properly, and why haven't I received a clear diagnosis?

My dog, Lucy, has been extremely lethargic for the past 2 days, vomiting undigested food and a foamy bile-like substance. She has also been drinking large amounts of water and vomiting it back up. She may have eaten something unusual, possibly from the trash or outside. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 14-year-old Chihuahua named Pup Pup. His right leg is hurting him, and he seems to be in pain when picked up. He also shows caution when stepping out of the door and walks more slowly. What could be causing his leg pain, and what can I do to help him?

My 14-year-old dog, Hapa, is having trouble balancing, especially when trying to shake or eat, and sometimes falls backwards violently. She weighs about 27 lbs and ate a tablespoon of wet food with a little dry food. She hasn't vomited and is drinking water. What could be causing this and what should I do?
