My 11-year-old male Dachshund underwent dental cleaning, and during the procedure, his canine tooth extraction site started bleeding uncontrollably. The vet had to put him under anesthesia again to try to stop the bleeding. What could be causing this and what should be done to address it?

Our dog, Oz, a 7.5-year-old with a history of a TTA surgery on his other leg, injured his back leg after hitting the gate. He was not putting any weight on it initially but is now barely doing so after icing. The leg is swollen, and he is limping. What could be the cause of his injury, and what should we do?

My 8-year-old dachshund is taking gabapentin for mild grade 1 IVDD and was scheduled for a teeth cleaning, but blood work shows an ALP level of 190. He is now scheduled for a bile acid test before dental work. How concerned should I be about this ALP level, especially given my previous experience with liver and gallbladder disease in another dachshund?

My 14-year-old small dog, a chihuahua, has had diarrhea for 2 days, is lethargic, vomited after eating, and has very runny diarrhea. He won't drink water and only took a couple of drops. What should I do?
