My 7-pound Maltese has blood in her stool, which has been goopy and runny, with blood only appearing this morning. I think she may have eaten a grape remnant from my bird. She is otherwise fine, playful, eating, and all else normal. We feed her boiled chicken breast and grain-free kibble. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have an appointment to euthanize my 11 1/2 year old lab today due to glaucoma, possible melanoma behind the eye, and a probable spleen tumor. My vet advised euthanasia, but I needed time. After receiving pain medication, my dog's behavior improved significantly, making me unsure if I'm making the right decision. What should I consider in this situation?

My dog, Walter, a Weimaraner, starts wheezing followed by collapsing on his side. Twice he has peed on himself while collapsed. He has a small growth on his head and was a former stray. What could be causing this and how urgent is it to take him to the vet?

My dog has a cut on her foot pad that seemed to be healing but has stopped, causing her to limp. This has been ongoing for about two weeks. I have been treating it with hydrogen peroxide and triple antibiotic ointment three times a day, but she licks it off. What can I do?

My 5-year-old dog, Bella, has been coughing for 1-2 days, with the frequency increasing in the last 24 hours. She is bringing up a thick white discharge and has been vaccinated for Kennel Cough. She spent half a day in daycare one week ago. Her appetite and energy level are normal, and she has no history of heart murmur or other health problems. What could be causing her cough and what should I do?
