My dog, Nova, a 7 1/2-month-old spayed female, is acting lethargic and has a belly ache. She had a couple of drops of bright red blood in her diarrhea.

My dog, Bodi, is lethargic, has vomited clear, watery liquid twice, and has urinated in multiple spots. He also ate a little different kibble today but nothing he hasn't had before. He might have eaten something unusual, possibly a lot of treats or a clothing item. His stool was solid but now contains blood. How should I handle this situation, and when should I take him to a clinic?

My almost 5-month-old Miniature Poodle puppy, Rosie, bites my hands and feet and sometimes attacks my legs when I walk. This behavior started around 3 months old and has worsened. I have tried diverting her attention with toys and hitting her nose gently, but it hasn't worked. Rosie has had 3 training sessions with a reputable trainer, but the trainer is expensive and I can't afford more sessions. How can I address this behavior effectively?
