My dog Luna, who is about 1 year old and recently had her first litter with a calcium deficiency, has become aggressive and barks at other people and pets all the time when taken outside.

We have a new puppy named Stanley in a house with two older dogs. One of the older dogs is fine with the puppy, but the older and Alpha female is exhibiting anxiety and bullying behavior towards Stanley. She has barely eaten and relaxed in two weeks and seems obsessed with him. We have tried introductions on neutral ground and walks, but her behavior has not improved. What can we do to help her integrate better with the new puppy?

My dog, Max, who is 3 years old, has been having water poop for 2 days. He had HGE (Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis) before Christmas. I make his food, which includes rice and hamburger meat. When did the dog last see a vet? Is he taking any medications? Is there anything else the Vet should know about Max?

My 6-year-old Rat Terrier, Sugar, has been restless for 36 hours, turning her tail to one side in pain, crying, and turning on her back to wiggle side to side. She has a good appetite and normal urine. She recently vomited for the first time. What could be causing her pain and restlessness?

My 8.5-year-old lab mix was being treated for low platelets with steroids and Mycophenalate. After a month, his platelets rose to normal, but he started vomiting and refused to eat or drink. He was given anti-nausea medication and additional treatments, but he still won't eat. His liver enzymes were elevated, and he had fresh blood in his diarrhea. What can be done to help him recover and start eating again?

My dog, Otis, has a paint chip in his eye. I just noticed it. He last saw a vet 2 months ago and is up-to-date on his shots. What should I do?
