My puppy, Mocha, just had bloody stool. She is 11 weeks old, ate about 30 minutes ago, and has been chewing on sticks. Her stool is solid but soft with bright red spots. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog accidentally consumed 6.7 ounces of grape juice from concentrate. She is not showing any symptoms yet, but it just happened about 20 minutes ago. What should I do to ensure her safety, and how can I induce vomiting if necessary?

I have a 15-year-old, 10 lb Yorkie Poo named Onyx who went into CHF in 2019 and has been on Vetmedin, spironolactone, sildenafil, and benazepril since then. Recently, he's been coughing, mostly in the morning and at night, and sometimes sporadically throughout the day. He still has energy, plays, and has an appetite, but the coughing concerns me. He was off his Vetmedin for a period and the coughing seemed to start during that time. Could this be a collapsed trachea, heartworm, or fluid buildup in the lungs? His resting respiratory rate is 18-20 breaths per minute, and the cough seems dry. He has a vet appointment scheduled for this Friday and a cardiologist appointment for the following Friday. What should I be looking for or doing in the meantime?

My German Shepherd was attacked by two dogs and has at least one puncture wound. Is it best to have her checked immediately or is twelve hours too long to wait?

My Shih Tzu/Bichon likely ate a 10mg dose of Strattera about 30 to 60 minutes ago. How is my dog currently behaving? Do you know approximately how much your dog weighs? How would you like to connect with the Vet - phone call or online chat? What should I do if my dog shows symptoms of Strattera ingestion? How long should we keep an eye on his symptoms (when are we in the clear)?
