I am watching a 16-week-old Australian Shepherd who escaped from a room and chewed through an unplugged electrical cord. I found many small pieces of the cord and am worried he might have eaten some wires. He was alone from midnight to 5:00 a.m., was playing earlier, and is now napping. What should I do?

My dog, Buddy, a 12-year-old corgi mix, has been vomiting off and on all day. The vomit is foamy and contains food. He has been drinking more water lately, has some periodontal disease, and has been licking his lower stomach more frequently. He also had blood in his urine a few months ago, which resolved with urinary tract chews. What could be causing his vomiting and what should I do?

Accidentally gave my 7-pound dog too many peanut butter flavored pill pockets for training. He threw up some of the pill pockets and now is drinking water, then regurgitating it. He is otherwise acting normally and only whines when he is about to throw up. I just want to know how concerned I should be and if I should take him to the ER. No blood in the vomit, mostly just water and pieces of the pill pockets.

My dog Pepper, who is 8 years old and weighs 15 pounds, has been experiencing bloody diarrhea for 2 days. He has not been eating much, only drinking, and has been lethargic and acting sick, except when going for walks. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a five-year-old, 15-pound male Havanese named Mojo. He has a red, irritated area on his left hind leg that he is constantly licking and biting. The hair in that area was extremely matted, and after I trimmed it, he started biting and irritating the leg more. His appetite is good, and his personality is fine, but he is bothered by this issue. What could be causing this irritation, and what steps can I take to help him?
