My female cocker spaniel, who is turning 12, has a tumor over her spleen and kidney, anemia, and has lost 4 kg. The vet recommended an operation, but her platelets are low. They gave her a blood transfusion and cortisone for chemotherapy, but her platelets are still low. What should I do: operate to remove the tumor or consider euthanasia?

My dog, Beatrice, a 5-year-old 18-pound dog, got into some chocolate chips from the trash about 10 minutes ago. I didn't see how many she ate, but there weren't many in the trash. She hasn't thrown up yet. What should I do?

My dog, Yoshi, a 60-pound, 1.5-year-old, ate a piece of his polyfoam kennel bed about 2-4 hours ago. There were a couple of small pieces around, but the majority was nowhere to be found. What should I do to ensure he passes the material safely?

My dog, Bella, is vomiting and has diarrhea with blood sometimes. This has been going on for a week, and the vomit is clear with green grass. Bella is 11 months old and weighs between 30 to 50 lbs. Her appetite is off and on, but she drinks plenty of water. She also eats feces, which could be contributing to her condition. What should I do to help Bella?

My dog has had symptoms of kennel cough, and we just brought a new puppy home from the pound but now she is puking up like white foam and stomach bile. She has puked 4 times today, and it's all fluid no food. Could she have eaten anything unusual? What should I do?
