Our 1-year-old Labradoodle named Sophie has had solid but liquid poo for 3 days. She hasn't eaten anything unusual, weighs 30 pounds, has normal energy, no medical problems, and takes Simparica regularly. What can I give her to help?

My dog, Willow, a 7 1/2-month-old puppy weighing 17 lbs, ate 3 small pieces of milk chocolate (2 mini Butterfingers and 1 mini Baby Ruth) about 30 minutes ago. She has not vomited or shown any symptoms. She is up-to-date on her shots and receives monthly heartgard for heartworm and fleas. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I do?

My dog ate a block of rat poison containing Bromethalin 0.01%. She is a 7-month-old dog weighing 25 pounds. We gave her hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting within an hour of her eating it, and she threw up granular green material. What should we do next?

My 3-year-old Mini Aussie, Briar, has been experiencing an eye issue. Initially, her eye appeared swollen, but it has since improved. However, her pupils remain uneven, and her third eyelid seemed abnormal at first. Briar also licks frequently and ate a granola bar after the eye issue occurred. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hi Dr, this is Cynthia again with Coby the Boston Terrier. I was just talking to you about his possible hernia and our appointment today at 4pm. I had another question. I hear that ultrasounds are safer than x-rays. Should I request that an ultrasound gets done today instead if they would like to do a little something to get a better idea of what’s going on? Also, his ATL is slightly elevated so his vet is recommending that he takes Denamarin. I’m looking on Amazon now and I see tablets in a box and supplements in a bottle. Which one do you think I should buy for him? And which box should I buy? The one for animals that weigh up to 12 lbs or the other one for pets that weigh between 13-34 lbs. I’m not sure because his weight fluctuates depending on how much exercise he gets and how much he eats. Some days he weighs 10 lbs and other days he’s more like 13-14 lbs.
