I have an elderly dog named Sierra, a 14-year-old Havanese, who has heavy gold urine, has quit eating but still drinks lots of water. I am supplementing her with droppers of Ensure and Pedialyte. She walks all over the house, but her appetite has slowly declined over the past 4 weeks. She still wags her tail and brings me her toy when I get home. I thought she might have kidney failure, but I'm wondering if it could just be an infection. She was 8 pounds but has lost quite a bit of weight. I am deaf, and she was my service dog. What should I do?

My Yorkie, Jackson, ingested a small piece of cooked onion a few minutes ago. He is a small dog, weighing 6.5 lbs, and is 4 years old. He ate his kibble and drank water after the incident and is behaving normally. Should I be concerned, and what should I monitor for?

My dog, Loki, a one-year-old, suddenly started having trouble standing and became wobbly. There's also a raised red circular wound on his leg that was noticed two days ago. He's not very active now, unlike his usual self. Is the dog bleeding at all? Any sign of swelling? What else should the vet know before I connect with them?

Our dog has CHF and a mass around his heart. He coughs frequently, especially when excited, and is on enalapril, furosemide, and prednisolone. His recent x-ray showed no fluid buildup but revealed the mass. We want to calm him down and are considering CBDs. Would CBDs be a safe option for him, and what dosage should we use?

My little blue healer/corgi mix dog ate wild grapes. I noticed him near the grapes and told him to leave them, but I don't know if he had eaten any before I noticed. About 2 hours later, he acted like he was trying to vomit but didn't. I read online that grapes are poisonous to dogs. Should I give him activated charcoal, and if so, how much and how often?
