My dog, Molly, a 7-8 month old with a significant heart murmur (rated 6 on a scale of 1-6), has stopped eating, is very inactive, bloated, and has diarrhea and vomiting (yellowish color, not foamy). She seems to prefer sitting up over lying down. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Chopper, a 2-year-old, has a swollen left front leg from the top joint to the paw, which is warm to the touch and painful when touched. He also has a swollen pocket on his chest. He is eating, drinking, and urinating normally, but seems lethargic and sometimes yelps when the swollen area is touched. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?

Hi Dr. *****, ***** just threw up again but just once since last night. It's bile with still a bit of food and is dark green. I gave him some Pepdid AC last night at 8pm and again this morning at 8am. He seems to be a little more active but is still sleeping a lot. He has no fever. What should I do next? Can I give him a bath to get all that stinky stuff out of his beard?

My 7-year-old Chihuahua, Sake, had her yearly vaccinations for Distemper/Parvovirus, Leptospirosis, and oral Bordetella around 3 pm CST today. She is now shaking, walking with her tail between her legs, and not as energetic as usual. She ate her dinner but didn’t come running for it as she usually does. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog George has lymphoma and is having trouble breathing and has no appetite. I don't want her to suffer anymore. What should I consider before making a decision about her care?

My 6-month-old Maltipoo has a red, swollen bump with an opening on his tail. I noticed it a few hours ago and applied a warm water compress. He hasn't been licking much. He was constipated and had poop hanging out of his butt, which I think caused him to bite his tail. What can I do?
