My 13-year-old Chihuahua, Pretty, has been lethargic, stumbling, and occasionally bleeding from her nose and mouth for about a week. Her stool is black, and she isn't eating much anymore. Could she have eaten something unusual, and what should I do?

My dog, Blue, has scabbing on the tips of her ears and is losing fur. Her appetite has decreased recently, and she has been outside a lot with flies. She hasn't been given heart guard or any medication in a while. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just got an Alaskan puppy, Snowflake, who is 8 weeks and 5 days old. He mostly sleeps and is not very active, eats very little, and prefers puppy formula over solid food. Is something wrong with him?

Can boric acid be used to treat vaginitis in a female dog named Amethyst, a 6-year-old Great Dane, who has been experiencing lethargy, brown and cream discharge, and a swollen vulva for about 4 days? The dog is intact and recently came out of estrus. The owner has been managing the condition with probiotics, keeping the vulva area clean, and using a urinary preventative. They also have an antibiotic dog bath and spray on the way. The owner is considering douching with sterile vinegar and water if needed and wants to know if there are any other steps they should take in the meantime, given their limited access to veterinary care.

My 14-week-old Great Dane ate a lot of kitten food, causing her abdomen to become distended and hard. She is not showing signs of distress but is sleeping. Should I be concerned, given that Great Danes are prone to bloat, and what should I do?
