My dog, Lucy, had vaccinations today and experienced an allergic reaction with symptoms including a swollen face, ears, and rubbing. She was given steroids and Benadryl at the vet, but four hours later, she is barking, scratching, and restless again. What should I do, and is there anything to watch for?

It's common for the symptoms to return as the medication wears off. You can safely give Lucy another...

My 14-year-old Shih Poo, Pepito, has slowed down, hardly responds to commands, and throws up when he eats his regular homemade raw food diet, which includes turkey. He managed to keep down sardines in water yesterday. What should he eat today, and could his symptoms be related to kidney disease?

My 10-year-old dog, Cali, ate something outside and started vomiting grass and bile, and now has been vomiting bloody mucus and having bloody diarrhea. She's about 50 lbs and was only outside for a few minutes. She has been drinking water but not eating. Should I take her to an emergency vet, and if so, what can I do in the meantime to help her feel more comfortable?

My dog chewed up a bottle of betta water conditioner containing Calcium chloride, cobalt chloride, lithium chloride, magnesium chloride, manganese chloride, nickel chloride, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, zinc EDTA, sodium molybdate, sodium selenate, and strontium chloride. The dog, Lena, weighs 102 lbs and is 1.5 years old. She chewed the bottle about 5 minutes ago and seems fine. Is there any cause for concern?
