My dog, KJ, who is 10 years old, started having diarrhea with blood after eating a new food. She is now bleeding from her anus without diarrhea and is panting. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 14-year-old overweight female Mini Pin named Heléna with a history of a heart murmur. She has been experiencing symptoms since December 2020, including reverse sneezing or possibly a collapsing trachea, a hardened stomach, and increased tiredness over the past two weeks. She eats and drinks normally, has no fever, and her urination and defecation are normal. She occasionally coughs when excited and has a slow running pace. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a 5-year-old mixed-breed dog (1/2 Chow, 1/2 Carean Terrier) who becomes aggressive with groomers. I've tried bathing him myself, but he now avoids the bathroom. I have a prescription for 2mg Diazepam for myself. Is it safe to give one to my dog before going to the groomer's?

My 11-year-old dog, Tootsie, fell from shoulder height onto her head and back on concrete. She seemed a little stunned initially but has since acted normally, eaten a little, not vomited, has equal and reactive pupils, and has a cold nose. She has a heart murmur and weighs 14.5 pounds. Is it safe for her to sleep and play normally, and what should I monitor for?

My dog, Teddy, a 3-year-old, won't stop biting his tail, which is matted and very red, possibly a hotspot. He has been doing this for about 2 to 3 days. Additionally, we found his fecal matter with maggots under the bed yesterday. We've tried telling him to stop and giving him treats, but it seems he can't control it. We also placed a cone on him this morning, but he's uncomfortable. What could be causing this behavior, and what should we do?
