I have a week-old cavapoochon puppy who was struggling to gain weight due to being bullied off his mother by bigger pups. He's been getting bottle-fed but has started screaming and now won't eat for us. The puppy seems slightly more tired than usual and is constantly crying. Two of his siblings have passed away in the same way. The puppy seems to be in slight pain, and the crying is high-pitched. We had taken all puppies to the vet, but were told there's nothing that can be done to help puppies at a week old. Can we assume that he has an infection?

My little dog, a 10-year-old Chihuahua, jumped out of a chair and injured her left hind leg/hip. She can't walk on it, is in pain, and is eating and drinking a little. Should I use a splint, leave it alone, or give her aspirin? I am on low income and need help finding affordable veterinary care.

My 13-year-old male mixed-breed dog, Achilles, has been experiencing bloody noses intermittently for at least a week. The bleeding is not severe but occurs after eating or drinking. Achilles was also seen by an emergency vet three weeks ago for lameness and shaking. What could be causing the bloody noses and what should I do?

Hi, I have a 10-11 yr old female mixed breed, mostly lab. She has vomited quite a bit today, not continuously. Her bowels are normal. She is drinking a lot of water and urinating very frequently without difficulty. Refuses food or treats. I will take her for a visit with our veterinarian tomorrow but want to be sure it isn't bloat. Her belly doesn't look enlarged but higher toward ribcage seems somewhat inflamed but not tender to touch. Does she need to go to a 24 hour clinic tonight?

My 5-week-old Yorkie, Meko, is straining, has a swollen red bubble on his butt, and is very constipated. He threw up his milk, which was not foamy. He only eats milk and was given to us at 4 weeks, which we believe was too early. What should we do to help him?
