My dog, JD, an American bulldog/retriever mix weighing about 75 lbs, started limping on his back left leg yesterday and today has his tail tucked, his back curved down, and is not eating much.

My 1-year-old male dog, Walter, is vomiting, has bright red bloody diarrhea, and a swollen, red/bruised scrotum 12 days post-castration. He has been sick with diarrhea since yesterday evening, and his stools have become increasingly bloody. He hasn't eaten anything unusual and has not been fed for 24 hours but has had unrestricted water intake. What should I do?

My 11-year-old dog, Chloe, occasionally experiences coughing fits where she goes outside to eat snow or grass frantically. She then returns inside and seems fine. What could be causing these fits and why does she eat grass or snow?

Our dog vomited stomach contents, is panting, shaking, and refusing food. He has been drinking a little water but threw up white foamy substance later. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My 6-month-old Golden Doodle swallowed a two-inch square piece of a pig's ear. He's not eating much, has pooped once 6 hours after swallowing, but not again in the last 12 hours. He slept more than usual in the car but seems normal after stopping. He seems restless while sleeping but not in pain. How will I know if I should be concerned, and what is the timeframe for passing this?

My 10-month-old dog, Lola, is lethargic, throwing up white foam, and has dry, sticky gums. She might have eaten feathers from a down pillow. What should I do to help her and monitor her condition?
