Hi Pearl, my lab puppy just ate raw sourdough dough. Do I need to be worried? The puppy is very healthy, around 7 months old, and weighs about 25kg. He ate about a cup of the dough about 45 minutes ago and seems reasonably normal now.

My Boston Terrier, Benny, is walking strangely with his back end down and hunching. He also lets his front paws fold and has balance issues. He had a knee problem a year ago and was on anti-inflammatory pills. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to stabilize him until I can get him to a vet?

My old English sheepdog ate a pound and a half of butter, including wax paper wrappers. He's about 65 lbs and has vomited small amounts three times this afternoon and evening. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but he's vomited up some of the wrapper as well. What should I do?

We have a 5-year-old golden retriever named Biscuit who recently got a bone stuck on his lower jaw and ate gravel to soothe his irritated jaw. He has been vomiting and has loose stools with gravel and blood in them. Is this a serious problem, and what can we do to help him?

My Akita, Kato, has vomited blood again after not doing so for 3 weeks. He might have gotten a bone during a play date at a neighbor's house. He is 3 years old, weighs around 95-110 pounds, and has always been healthy. What could be causing this and what should I do?
