My dog, Georgie Girl, has had bloody stools for the past 12 months, despite multiple courses of antibiotics. She was checked for parasites and was negative. I suspect coccidiosis or IBD, but I'm more concerned after multiple antibiotic treatments. We live in a rural area with many vermin. What could be causing her condition and what steps should I take to address it?

My 19 lb mix dog, Chugs, has been experiencing severe diarrhea and is unable to keep food down. He held down a small amount of food today. The local vet suggested $400 worth of tests, but I believe the issue might be related to pesticides used on our neighbors' lawns. What can I do to help Chugs without extensive testing?

My 5-month-old Chihuahua, Scrappy, licked a suboxone pill that is 8mg/2mg and 90% intact. He did not eat the pill, but some of it dissolved in his mouth. He is acting normal, but I'm concerned because he is so small. Should I be worried about any potential effects?

My dog swallowed a sanitary pad and some Clorox wipes. I managed to pry it out of his mouth, but I'm sure he swallowed some bits and pieces. He also has a history of mild skin irritation, mild stomach irritation, and often ingests things when unsupervised. What should I do to ensure his safety and health?
