My 2-year-old Chihuahua, Butters, has swollen feet and red eyes, and he has been licking and chewing his feet since yesterday morning. What could be causing this and what should I do?

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?

My rescued dog, Chenoa, has had very dark, runny bowel movements and has not been eating much for the last day and a half. She recently ate raw hamburger. Could this have caused her issues, and what should I do?

We have a rescue dog, Maggie, a 2-year-old pittie, who was rescued with a broken left hind leg and a shearing injury. After a long delay due to a bone infection and other complications, a specialist determined that her bones had fused on their own, and she has good range of motion. Maggie occasionally favors her leg but it doesn't seem painful. We have her on glucosamine-condroiten supplements and green-lip muscle powder. Our questions are: Does the fact that she favors the leg mean that she's in pain? Assuming we made the right decision to forgo the arthrodesis surgery, is there anything else (medication, supplements, physical therapy) we should be doing?
