Our 11-year-old male Boston Terrier, Buster, was diagnosed with a tumor covering 3/4 of his stomach and a spot on his lung. We were told surgery would be useless and are now managing his comfort with pain meds, Pepcid, and sufulcrate. Buster has been eating mulch and his bowel movements now contain stringy parts of mulch. Could the ultrasound that showed a mass have been misdiagnosed as a tumor, or is it more likely cancer?

I have a one-year-old mama dog who recently had 11 pups on 6/9/16. Multiple pups were born with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. Now, she has creamy pink, thicker-than-water vaginal drainage, is not eating well, and is significantly underweight despite being on full feed for several weeks. I have not noticed any worms in her stool, and I gave her 3 ml of Strongid without seeing any worms or pieces of tapeworm. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 17 lb Maltipoo vomited profusely all night, in every room of the house. It looked like undigested food and then clear foamy emesis. We had put down Maxforce ant bait and DuPont Advion Gel ant bait. I'm worried he may have gotten into the poison. What should we do? He is lethargic and not himself today.
