My lab/shepherd mix, Freya, is experiencing a yellow, snotty vaginal discharge, has been eating and drinking less than normal, and is occasionally warm but mostly cool and wet. She's also been whiney and could be constipated. She had her first heat cycle about a month ago and is not yet spayed. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 6-year-old Great Dane/Mastiff mix named Nova who weighs around 170lbs. She has been acting unusually, including heavy breathing, shaking, inappetence, and blood in her urine. She also seems confused and has had an accident in the house with blood in her urine. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Our 18-month-old Bloodhound, Millie, ate a piece of rope and has been showing signs of discomfort, including vomiting, lack of appetite, diarrhea, and lethargy. We gave her Pepto Bismol, which she threw up, and she has been salivating excessively. Should we take her to the vet immediately or wait until morning?

My dog, Delilah, has a gash on her back about an inch wide. We noticed it while giving her a bath. There is no bleeding or swelling, and she swims in our saltwater pool frequently. What should I do about the gash, and does she need stitches?

I just picked my pug, Roxy, up from dog boarding. She has a swollen area and some dried blood underneath her right eye (external, not in the eye), which is watering slightly but doesn't seem to bother her. She isn't licking or rubbing the area, and is eating and acting normally. Could this wait until I see her vet tomorrow, or should I take her to an emergency vet today?
