My dog, Kita, a 4.5-year-old 56 lbs dog, bit into a non-moisture packet (oxygen absorber) containing brown contents. She chewed on it and punctured the package, ingesting less than 10% of the contents. The packet had been exposed to air for around 10-12 hours. What should we watch for, and is there any immediate action needed?

My dog has been experiencing intermittent incontinence for a couple of months. We treated her for a UTI but she was still leaking. We got an ultrasound of her bladder and noticed inflamed bladder walls. Her urine culture on the day of the ultrasound came back negative for bacteria but there were traces of blood. She's eating and drinking fine. No other symptoms besides incontinence while walking 2-3 times a week. Our vet is leaning towards bladder cancer, but I'd appreciate another look. What could be causing the inflammation and incontinence, and what further tests or treatments might be recommended?

Our 10-week-old golden retriever puppy, Maya, has been experiencing increasingly frequent bloody stools. She is not showing signs of increased thirst, vomiting, or unusual behavior, but she may have chewed on a foreign object during home renovations. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My Great Pyrenees, Aspen, was running to catch a stick and flipped strangely, landing vertically with the stick stabbing her in the mouth. She whimpered for a minute, acted coy for an hour, and is now not eating, drinking, or showing excitement. She also seems more tired and is in pain. She was drooling earlier, which is unusual. What should I do?

My dog, Milo, is three years old and has been shaking and panting for about thirty minutes. He threw up this afternoon and keeps sticking his tongue out. He hasn't had diarrhea and has been eating his regular food. What could be causing this and what should I do?
