My Great Dane, Leo, has not been interested in his food but will eat a little boiled chicken if I feed it to him. He is more lethargic and has been having a hacking, non-productive cough off and on for about a week. He also seems to be less interested in drinking water and the cough starts when he stands up. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should I take to help him?

My Chihuahua Yorkie mix, Rizzo, is 4 years old and has been experiencing vomiting with a little bit of blood, difficulty keeping water down, and a lack of appetite. She had stomach issues in the past but is not on any medication currently. We were in the desert the night before last, and she ate canned chicken. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog might have ingested rat poison around 2pm. She hasn't vomited and seems happy. She might have ingested one cube of Kaput combo mini block. I gave her a charcoal capsule and one denanarin pill. What should I do next?

My granddaughter's dog, Jade, has a persistent problem with one of her anal glands that requires an operation. The vet has tried various treatments over the past year without success. How likely is it that Jade could die from this problem, especially considering she is a very tiny dog and has had previous health issues, including exposure to mouse poison?

My dog, Oakley, has had explosive diarrhea all night and morning after receiving topical flea medication (K9 Advantix). He didn't eat anything unusual, and his diet hasn't changed. He's acting normal except for whining a lot and the diarrhea. Is this related to the flea medication, and what should I do?
