My dog, Tebow, a 9-year-old Australian Shepherd, ingested a significant amount of clumping cat litter yesterday evening. He has since tried to defecate unsuccessfully and vomited a small amount of dog food. Tebow weighs 55 lbs and has left-sided congestive heart failure, taking an ACE-inhibitor and 30 mg of Lasix daily. What should I do to help Tebow, and is there a risk of dehydration or other complications?

I need a caring veterinarian who will work for a small fee and can communicate via the internet. My large dog, a Great Dane mix named Sadie who is 3 years old, has had a lack of appetite, wants to eat grass, is more tired than usual, and is not very active for the past few days to a week. She may also be in pain, and I'm not certain if anyone can see her in person on the weekend. Sadie is not very trusting and may need a muzzle if she is worried. What should I do?

My pug, Osiris, won't stop sneezing. He has been eating and drinking normally, has no fever, and started sneezing 15 minutes ago without any skin licking or scratching. He was licking my mom's arm, which has a lot of lotion on it, and has been taking medication for parasites. What could be causing the sneezing and is there anything I should do?

My dog, Beast, ate half a box of Girl Scout peanut butter patties about 5 hours ago. He weighs 80 lbs, hasn't vomited but has pooped once, which was softer but not diarrhea. He's been on a steroid and antibiotic for an ear infection but hasn't had either yet today. He's on day 7 of steroids, now on a once-a-day dose instead of twice. He went to the dog park after eating the cookies and ran around normally, though he seemed a bit lethargic.
