My dog has a suddenly red, irritated, and bulging eye. The symptoms appeared within the past few hours, though he has had some redness in that eye before. He is still playful and tail-wagging, but it's hard for him to close the affected eye due to the bulging. He already has a vet visit scheduled for Monday, but we're hoping to determine if this needs immediate attention. What could be causing this, and what signs should we look out for that might indicate a more serious issue?

My dog, Ollie, a 10-pound, 6-year-old dog, ate one small Rolo candy (chocolate on the outside, caramel on the inside) about 20 minutes ago. He has not vomited and has been eating his regular food. Should I be concerned, and what should I monitor for?

My mini dachshund, Archie, has been biting and licking his testicles excessively for hours. I have given him a bath and tried Benadryl, but nothing has helped. He has never done this before and is now yelping. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?

Our puppy, Milo, ate half of a green grape a couple of hours ago. He weighs about 8 lbs and hasn't vomited. We're concerned about potential toxicity. What should we do?

My 18-year-old Italian Greyhound had blood in his urine and was peeing a lot on 11/12. He was diagnosed with a UTI on 11/13 and was prescribed amoxicillin 100mg twice a day for 10 days. He finished the medication, but now he's peeing a lot again and has blood in his urine. He also has kidney disease. What can I do for him tonight and tomorrow to help him feel better? Is there any OTC medication that can help alleviate symptoms?

We have a 6 lb Chihuahua female named Chula, who is 13 years old. She was at my in-laws for a couple of days and started vomiting yellow liquid when we picked her up. She continued to vomit liquid the next morning and later vomited all the food she ate the previous night. She also had difficulty pooping. It's possible she ate something unusual at my in-laws' house. What should we do to help her recover?
