My dog, Louey, who just turned 11, has dark brown deposits on his teeth and black feces. He has been eating less and prefers soft food. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

The dark brown deposits on your dog's teeth could be calculus or could indicate the presence of iron...

My dog, Stanley, had calcium oxalate kidney stones in his bladder and had surgery. The surgeon said they will likely come back and there's nothing I can do to manage them. They prescribed a urinary tract diet food that only helps but doesn't prevent. What else can I do to help manage or prevent these stones?

My dog, Frankie, a 9-month-old retriever mix weighing 40 lbs, ate a half bar of oatmeal-based soap from Whole Foods. Is this an issue?

My dog vomited after eating, with undigested food and bloody-tinged mucus. She hasn't vomited in the last 24 hours, is eating a bland diet, drinking water, and peeing, but hasn't pooped since she went all day without eating. I gave her 1/2 tab of a 10mg Pepcid twice. Should I still take her to the vet, and how long should she stay on Pepcid?

My golden retriever, Ella, has an abscess on her ear. I am a nurse and would like to drain this myself if possible. Can I drain this with a sterile needle and syringe?
