My senior lab, Caesar, ate a piece of a shoe and has vomited three times since this morning, with a piece of shoe found in the vomit. He is refusing to drink, eat, or stand up.

My Shih Tzu, Tucker, is 13 years old and has had diarrhea for 3 days. He's eating and drinking water, but I can't afford to take him to the vet. What can I give him to help?

My dog, Bowser, is shaking, lethargic, and yelped when I touched him around the front of his body. He's also having difficulty walking and shaking is getting worse. He was exposed to toxic fumes in my hallway this morning and ate some pizza crumbs. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I look for?

My dog, Jax, was neutered 7 days ago and had an additional surgery as one of his testicles wasn't dropped. The incision appears to have opened up with a little fluid coming out, but no redness. Should I take him back to the vet, or will it heal on its own?

My dog chewed up a Combat brand roach trap. I'm unsure if she ingested any plastic, but if she did, it would be a small amount. Should I induce vomiting, and what should I watch for?

My dog, Max, has been passing blood and vomiting consistently throughout the day. He had a handful of leftover spaghetti bolognese, which is unusual for him. He is having trouble passing a heavy stool and just releases blood. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take to help him?
