Noticed little white worms in my dog's poop. Can I get an over-the-counter treatment? My dog has been coughing frequently, and we just adopted him a couple of weeks ago. He was tested for worms last weekend and was negative. Should we watch our infant for any symptoms since the dog has licked her face, and should we treat our other dog too?

The worms you described, which are short, round, and stretch out, are likely tapeworms. Tapeworms us...

My puppy, Marlowe, chewed up a pothos plant about 10 minutes ago. She weighs 40lbs and has shown no signs of ingestion or vomiting. Should I be worried, and what should I do to monitor her condition?

I have a 17-year-old mutt who has had a bad cough for two days, similar to a child with croup, and has been coughing up phlegm initially but now is dry heaving. She is tilting her head but not shaking, and her breathing is fine. She weighs 17 lbs and is eating and drinking normally. She is not on any medications for other issues. What should I do for her cough?

My 3-year-old Golden Retriever, Luna, has a hot spot on her face. I shaved the fur around the area, and it doesn't look as irritated today. She has been scratching at it but not licking or rubbing it. What should I do to treat it?

My 1-year-old toy Chihuahua fell off a high bed onto a hardwood floor and hit her head slightly. Now she is keeping one eye closed. What does that mean?

My dog, Shadow, a 10-year-old puggle, has pink blood in her stool this morning. She seems to be about the same in thirst and is always hungry. We suspect she may have Cushing's disease due to abnormal blood work, but it's not confirmed. She has also been having accidents and diarrhea for 24 hours. What could be causing the blood in her stool and what should we do?
