My dog, Lilly, a 50 lb, 8-9 year old, unspayed female, has developed a bloated/hard stomach quickly within the last week. She has small spots of blood on the floor, is drinking water but eating less, licking her private parts constantly, and seems slightly tired. Her spine appears more curved near her tail, and she walks with a wider gait. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Based on the symptoms described, Lilly may be experiencing a pyometra, which is a uterine infection ...

My 15-pound French bulldog, Nala, ate a large chocolate bar (about 4 inches long, 100 grams, milk chocolate with almonds and honey). She has already started vomiting. What should I do, and is there any risk of chocolate toxicity?

My dog, Mocha, a 13-year-old Chihuahua mix, has been limping on his right back leg. He has had a firm bump on that leg for a few months, which doesn't seem to bother him when touched, but he is uncomfortable when sleeping and whines. His appetite and bathroom habits are normal, and he is not on any medications. What could be causing the limp, and what should I do in the meantime while waiting for a vet appointment?

My dog broke out of his crate and ate a two-layer box of Whittman's chocolate. He's a one-year-old Border Collie. What should I do, and should I expect diarrhea or force him to vomit?

Our dog, Roscoe, may have swallowed a bee, but he won't eat or drink and cries when touched around the throat or mouth area. We've given him 50 mg of Benadryl. Is there anything else we can do?

Is there any way to determine how many puppies a dog will have without using an X-ray or ultrasound?
