My female miniature Foxie Maltese cross, aged 7 years, came into heat on 20.9.2010 and was bred by a male Pomeranian cross Shihtzu, aged 9 months. She now has an enlarged belly and is expected to give birth around the 21st of December. Will she have problems with her first litter, and should I take her to the vet to be checked? Additionally, should I separate the male from the mother and puppies after birth?

My dog ate part of a toy rope and part of a tarp, leading to two surgeries to remove the matter and two feet of intestine. There is fluid coming from his stitches, which stops after a while but happens again when he stretches to use a dog door. The last operation was two days ago. I'm running out of money and can only use an emergency clinic on the weekend. What are my options?

My 4-month-old Havanese has gagged and thrown up several times overnight, producing foam but nothing more. Is this a sign of worms, and should I take him to a vet or treat him with natural remedies found online?

Our dog was injured and has a swollen foot. She was on IV antibiotics for 3 days and after we got her home, her skin and tissue underneath are separating and rotting. Can we perform an amputation as we cannot afford to pay the $2000?

My dog accidentally took 50,000 IU of vitamin D 3 hours ago. What should I do, and should I still give her her antibiotic tonight?

My dog is lethargic, shaking slightly, and warm to the touch. Yesterday, she was sneezing and rubbing her nose. Is it possible for dogs to catch colds and fleas? What should I do if I can't find a 24-hour vet in my area and can't take her in until tomorrow morning?
