My dog has been diagnosed with Giardia. I have several concerns: 1. Can he continue to sleep in bed with me? 2. How should I handle our lawn where he has pooped? 3. Do I need to bathe him often? 4. Should I clean his toys? 5. Is there any risk for our baby in the house? 6. Is there anything else I should know about treating him or keeping our environment safe for him and others? 7. How can I manage his gas? 8. Do I need to wash my bedding every night since he sleeps with me? 9. How do I know if the treatment is harming him too much?

My dog, Nala, is struggling with breathing and coughing, especially when she gets up or gets excited. She seems okay when lying down but gets out of breath easily. She also has a fever and sleeps close to me, sometimes shivering under the covers. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Charley, is pooping blood. He seems normal in terms of thirst and has been drinking water as usual. He might have eaten something unusual, like a piece of Wagyu steak with sauce, and he vomited once yesterday but was otherwise fine. Today, he has diarrhea with blood. What should I do?

My Shih Tzu Maltese, Charlie, has been squealing and crying, especially when his rib and upper stomach area are touched. He's been lethargic, not eating much, and has a tight stomach and chest area. I've tried giving him laxatives for constipation, but it hasn't helped. What could be causing his pain, and what should I do?

Our dog, Bandit, got into a fight with another dog and now has a large sack under his jaw, which could be blood or pus. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything since the fight and seems to be in pain. What should we do?

My dog, Bella, has a runny nose which is pale yellow or cloudy, a mild cough, and is not eating. She has been lethargic and has shown these symptoms since yesterday. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help her?
