My dog hasn't eaten this morning, her nose is dry, and she is laying around. She is happy, not fussy, and gassy. She pooped and peed on her morning walk, and pooped out a sock she ate 2 days ago. Should I be concerned? The dog is 9 years old, in good health, has food allergies, is on daily Benadryl for environmental allergies, and ate 2 socks 3 days ago, both of which have passed intact. I have only had her for 2 months, but she has adjusted well and has never refused to eat.

My dog, Loki, a border collie/german shepherd mix weighing 60 lbs and aged 1 year, ingested 40ml of children's Ibuprofen. He is currently acting normal but is laying down more than usual. What should I be concerned about and what steps should I take?

My dog's penis is swollen and out. How long has it been stuck out? Is he neutered? Can you provide guidance on what to do and whether this is an emergency?

I have two purebred pit bull dogs in my sister's household. Both are females, one is ten years old (Callie) and the other is five years old (Cana). Callie was sick for two weeks but recovered five days ago, but as soon as she got better, Cana became sick. Cana is not eating, barely drinking, vomiting, and has bloody diarrhea. The last time both dogs were vaccinated was in January 2014. What could be causing Cana's symptoms and what should be done?

My dog, Mars, a Beagle mix, had diarrhea and vomited once. The vet prescribed medication and a rice chicken diet. There has been no more vomiting, but the stool remains soft, and the dog had another accident in the house. The vet then recommended Royal Canine gastrointestinal food, but I feel like they are just guessing. This is becoming expensive. Last year, the dog had a similar issue that another vet resolved in a few days. The dog eats deer poop from our backyard. What should I do?

My dog Alice has been diagnosed with kidney difficulty/infection and is on a diet of canned renal food, but she won't eat it readily. We are trying various ways to persuade her. Do you have any suggestions, such as an additive that might stimulate her appetite, or any other advice on managing her condition?
