My dog, Elvis, a 3-year-old 35-pound dog, ate about 3/4 of a maxi pad around 8 pm. He has thrown up since then, but not the maxi pad. He also ate a lot of grass and was very thirsty after vomiting. He just pooped, but we don't know if the maxi pad passed. What should we do?

My 6-year-old dog, Smokey, was diagnosed with leptospirosis three days ago and has been receiving treatment in the hospital, but his condition is worsening instead of improving. He was initially not eating, had vomiting, and now has issues with his liver, kidneys, and breathing. The vet is suggesting termination of treatment. What are the possible reasons for his worsening condition, and what other options do I have as a pet parent?

My dog has a bump on her back that has a head in the middle. I just had her shaved, and I’m able to see/feel it. She isn’t messing with it at all and hasn’t noticed. What could this bump be, and what should I do about it?

My friend's Husky, Jewels, ingested a bowl of grapes (about 20ish) about two to two and a half hours ago. She is lethargic, shaky, jumpy when touched, and has recently wet the couch. She weighs 80 lbs and is 3 years old. What should be done to help her, especially if they don't have the money for an emergency clinic visit?

My 11-week-old puppy, Lexi, hasn't eaten since we got her on Wednesday. She had bloody diarrhea and was tested negative for parvo and worms. She was prescribed probiotics but hasn't had them as she's not eating. What can I do to help her appetite and digestive health?
