My dog’s eye seems to have an infection around it. He had some hair covering his eye and I cut around it tonight to get a better look. Is there anything I can get over the counter to treat it until I can get him to the vet on Tuesday?

My dog, a German Shepherd Rottweiler mix named Flyer, vomited a large amount of food, yellow bile, and mucus after returning from a trip. He has no other symptoms and is resting. Should I take him to an emergency vet, or can I wait until morning to see a regular vet?

My 13-year-old dog, Sioux, is bloated and hasn't gone to the bathroom since Friday when she had diarrhea. She hasn't been walking and is just lying down. The vet mentioned a possible splenic tumor that could rupture, suggesting euthanasia. What could be causing her bloating and lack of bowel movement, and what should I do next?

My dog, Missy, has been having dry heaves for a few days. She was still eating but not yesterday. Her breathing sounds normal, but she has these spells about every 5 minutes and saliva has begun drooling from her mouth. She's about 5 years old and was a stray before I retrieved her from a shelter. The shelter had used a choker type leash on her, and someone suggested her larynx may have been bruised. What could be causing her dry heaves and what can I do to help her?

My 9-year-old Chihuahua named Runt has been experiencing blood in her stool, now just pure blood, since yesterday. She is drinking normally and has not eaten anything unusual. She weighs around 10 lbs and has typical Chihuahua energy levels. I inherited her when my dad died in June, so I don't know about her past medical history, but she is not on any medications or supplements. What should I do?
