I am dog sitting my son’s 15-year-old mixed Beagle, Harley, who has kidney disease. She had diarrhea during the night, and one of the piles has what looks like blood. She hasn’t been drinking much water, and I saw her eating something in the backyard. She sleeps a lot but is perky when awake. Her gums are a normal reddish color and moist. What could be causing her diarrhea and blood in her stool, and what should I do?

My fiancé and I suspect that our 18-pound Boston terrier, Mindy, might have eaten some crumbs of marijuana last night due to her behavior this morning. She seems lazy and a bit disoriented, but she did eat her breakfast and used the restroom overnight. She has also vomited, and the vomit contained what seemed like marijuana crumbs. What should we do?

My dog, Tucker, has been rapidly losing weight despite having the same appetite, randomly vomiting clear thick liquid, experiencing changes in urination habits, and displaying unusual destructive behavior. He also has lymphedema in his left hind leg, for which no cause has been identified despite blood tests and flu tests. What could be causing these symptoms and what further diagnostics should be considered?

My dog, Tommy, a 14-year-old Pomeranian-Terrier mix weighing about 7 lbs, chewed on a small piece of milk chocolate (about 2-inch heart shape) during our walk. He has beginning stages of kidney disease. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and is there anything I should do?
