My dog is throwing up, shaking her head, and has way more energy than normal. She's not acting like herself. She's been throwing up for 3 straight days. She has eaten grass, and the grass has come out the other end. So I'm not concerned about a blockage. But she seems to vacillate between looking absolutely terrible and then having a lot of energy and spunk. She feels hot. And she's doing her best to lay on the cool bare floor. I have an appointment today at 3:30 after work. But anyone have any ideas?

My dog, Snickers, suddenly can't go up a step or stair despite wanting to, and she shows signs of pain such as being mushy, whining, and shivering. She was active and normal yesterday, but this issue arose this morning. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Our PUG (about 8 years old) is urinating blood. What can we do until a vet can see him, and what should I expect in terms of charges? I am 67, on Social Security, and no one takes payments in Reno that I can find.

My dog was bitten at the dog park 2 days ago on the neck. It bled a little but nothing serious. I cleaned it and put antibiotic cream on it, but today I noticed it feels swollen. It doesn't seem to bother him when touched or when he plays, but I'm worried about infection.

I own a 10-year-old male Maltese who recently started vomiting for no reason. His diet has not changed, and we took him to our vet. They did blood work and an overall exam, which came back normal except for slightly elevated liver enzymes. The vet prescribed an anti-vomiting medication (metoclopramide 1 mg liquid), which has helped but he is still vomiting once per day, but not food, just liquid. What could this be?

My dog ate a small piece of frozen bread dough while it was in the process of rising. The size was equal to a 50-cent piece coin (puffed up, not flat). He is a 30-lb cocker spaniel. Should I be concerned or should I let him naturally pass it?
