My dog, Dixie, a puggle about 8 years old, has been scooting excessively and has a swollen anal area for at least 6 months. I've had her anal glands expressed, but the issue persists. She poops normally and has some lesions on her hips from a previous spinal cord injury. What could be causing this and what can I do for temporary relief until I can afford to take her to the vet?

My dog, Sadie, a 7 1/2-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, has been experiencing loss of appetite, increased water consumption, loss of energy, unusual lack of response, and occasional statue-like behavior since last Tuesday. She doesn't appear to be in pain, is spayed, and has not been vomiting or having diarrhea. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Cooper, started vomiting this morning with red chunks in it, now it's clear and foamy. He has whole body spasms when trying to throw up and has vomited 8 times. He has diarrhea tinted red, is lethargic, drooling, and refusing to eat or drink. He ate cooked sweet potatoes with butter and red dog treats last night. What should I do to help him?

Could the blood draw during my Mom’s 12-year-old Maltese's annual vet check-up have caused her to slowly bleed internally and die 18 hours later, given that she developed a large hematoma at the site of the blood draw and her lungs were full of fluids when she passed away?
