My Yorkie, Stella, has had diarrhea with some blood since Tuesday night. The diarrhea has been intermittent, with some stools being slimy and others semi-soft, mostly brown in color.

My dog, Cosmo, a 1-year-old Chow Chow, hasn't pooped in three days and doesn't seem to be in pain. He had an ear infection and was given antibiotics and anti-allergy shots. What should I do to help with his constipation?

My Chihuahua, Bentley, has blood in his stool. He is acting normally, eating, drinking, and not vomiting. He weighs about 10lbs and the stool consistency is normal except for being slightly softer with blood mixed in. He has no underlying health issues and is not on any medications or supplements. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hi, my dog has had diarrhea since Tuesday. It was better for one day after giving him pumpkin, but it started again. Can you advise any medication better than just pureed pumpkin? The dog, Donnie, is 9 months old and has never been sick before. He recently started obedience classes and the teacher gave him some treats, which might be related to the issue.

My dog, Blaze, a 2-year-old, is limping. It started yesterday. Does Blaze qualify for telemedicine, and how can I determine if the issue is serious, such as a ligament tear?
