My 17-18-year-old rescue dog, Baxter, has been lethargic, uninterested in moving, eating, or drinking, and is hiding under my bed all the time. His gums are pale, and he bit me when I checked them, which is unusual for him. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 1-year-old 7 lb dog chewed through a soft, sticky tape used to attach a cord cover to a lamp. I'm unsure if she swallowed much of it and am debating whether to induce vomiting at home or take her to an emergency vet. Is there a safe way to induce vomiting at home, and what precautions should I take?

My dog, Stormy, was hit by a car and can't move her hips or back legs. There are no 24-hour vets available in Va Beach, VA. What should I do? She won't eat or drink, her nose is wet, and her mouth is not white, but she is very injured. Her back leg has a laceration and is bleeding. There are no emergency vets open tonight or taking walk-ins.
