My dog hurt his lower spine on Friday morning. He can walk on his back legs but hasn’t urinated or defecated since then (28 hours). He has been given anti-inflammatory and painkillers. He has drank some water and had a small amount of dog food. What could be causing his reluctance to urinate or defecate, and what should I do to help him?

Is it safe to give my 14.5-year-old Chihuahua, Sixx, Rimadyl (for back pain flare-ups) and Denosyl (for liver help/protection) near each other in time, and are there any interactions between these two drugs?

My greyhound, Daisy, a 5-year-old weighing ~60 lbs, ate 60 Nuvet Plus vitamin wafers around an hour ago and has since thrown up. The vomit has a gooey/raw egg texture. What should I do?

My Bichon Poodle, Rocky, ate some dark chocolate-coated pretzels from Trader Joe's about 2 hours ago. He weighs 22lbs and is 7 years old. He hasn't vomited yet. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and if so, what should I do?

I discovered a flea infestation about 3 weeks ago. My dog's Seresto collar wasn't tight enough to be effective, so I replaced it and treated her with Capstar each week. I've treated my home twice, vacuumed daily, and washed bedding in hot water. Despite these efforts, I'm still seeing fleas and my dog is scratching. Is the Seresto collar still effective, and what else can I do to eliminate the fleas?

My 7-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Rip, was outside and when he came back in, he started making a constant sniffling sound, like he's breathing in through his nose. He struggled to drink water and sounded like he couldn't breathe. This started after he was running in the woods. He's not licking or scratching, but he likes to eat stuff outside. What could be causing this and what should I do?
