My dog, Lucy, a 1-year-old 11lb dog, has been having loose stools for the second day. Her stool was normal this morning, but after eating half a cup of her standard dog food and drinking water, she had two more loose poops. There has been no vomiting, no recent diet changes, and she hasn't gotten into anything unusual. The stool is lighter, runny, and has a smell like diarrhea. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

The most likely issue is colitis, which can be caused by something Lucy licked, chewed, or swallowed...

My dog, Cali, a 6-year-old Beagle Shepherd mix, ate an entire 4 oz package of candied almonds. She has had a sensitive stomach in the past but has been on probiotic chews lately. What should I do?

My dog, Sasha, a 5-year-old 20-pound dog, ate a small, soft, bite-sized piece of plum caramel candy about 15 minutes ago. She has not vomited and seems normal. Is this harmful, and what should I watch for?

Our dog consumed about 0.5 oz of a facial beauty product. Iām concerned about the toxicity of the ingredients. The dog weighs 50 lbs, consumed the product about 30 minutes ago, and has not vomited yet. The dog's name is Athena, and she is 1.5 years old. I have an ingredient list and would like to know if the ingredients are toxic and what steps should be taken next.

My 2-year-old dog, Arielle, who weighs 53 lbs, accidentally received 600 mg of gabapentin, which is my Golden Retriever's dose. Arielle had TPLO surgery a week ago and normally takes gabapentin, trazedone, and carprofen twice a day. My Golden Retriever takes one gabapentin, apoquel, and Zyrtec once a day. I think Arielle got her medication mixed with my Golden's. What should I do?

My Corgi, Max, has anal maggots and is showing symptoms like dragging his back half and having loose stools. He had this issue a couple of years ago. What should I do until I can take him to the vet on Tuesday?
