My son's 1-year-old Boston Terrier keeps throwing up. We've taken him to the vet, had him x-rayed and ultrasounded, and tried vet-recommended gastrointestinal food, but he continues to vomit, including carpet fibers and lint. He's losing weight but remains lively. Could he have ingested stuffing from toys treated with harmful chemicals, and what further steps should we take?

My dog injured her back left leg and is limping, refusing to put weight on it. She is not sensitive to touch, but steps are a problem, especially going down. What can we do to help her if there is pain, and what should we expect regarding treatment options?

My dog's histiocytoma burst and is bleeding. What can I do to help until I can get her to the vet tomorrow?

My Shih Tzu, about 10 years old, has been yelping suddenly and showing unusual behavior such as being very still for hours, yelping and running to new locations, tucking in her tail, and fighting for comfort, then stopping for hours. She had a bowel movement showing worms, was treated for that, and given pain, inflammation, and antibiotic medications. Two days later, she returned to the vet with the same symptoms, had an x-ray with no findings, and was given new pain medication due to stomach irritation. She is now hand-fed and given water, but doesn't initiate it herself. Her tail twitches, and she dislikes it. What could be causing her symptoms, and what can be done to help her?

Our dog has a swollen right front paw. We cannot tell if the swollen paw is from a sprain from chasing a deer or if it is from a scratch that he kept licking on the tip of his paw. Any idea what it might be? Thanks.

My dog won't bark and won't lift her head. She seems to be in pain and is very tense, but has a good appetite and wags her tail. What could be causing this and what should I do?
