Our 13-pound, 15-year-old Jack Russell Terrier named Clover swallowed a hard plastic object the size of a walnut 90 minutes ago. She is acting normally and has not vomited since. Should we induce vomiting at home, wait for it to pass, or take her to a vet immediately?

How much should I feed my newly adopted, overweight Siberian Husky mix named Ghost, who is about 4.5 years old and weighs 69 lbs? He has a thick winter coat and is currently on a Blue Buffalo adult chicken and rice diet, with the package suggesting 3.5-4.5 cups daily. However, I plan to feed him only two cups daily divided into two meals, unless advised otherwise. Additionally, he has been in a shelter for over a year and is adjusting to his new environment. He doesn't play with toys and mounts female dogs, which I believe is a sign of asserting dominance. Any advice on his feeding amount and behavior?

My dog has been sleeping a lot, has nasal discharge, and there is blood in the corner of his eye. He has bad teeth and a fractured jaw scheduled for surgery. He was recently off antibiotics and is on a muscle relaxer and pain medicine. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My senior dog, Kipton, has a swollen right side of his face, possibly due to a tooth issue. I can't find a vet who will do payments and I'm financially strained. What can I do to help Kipton, and how long should it take for antibiotics to show improvement?

My dog just had follow-up blood work/urinalysis done, and the vet is now telling me that she has an Acute Kidney Injury. Iām confused about what this means and if she will recover. What brought this on initially, and what are the next steps for her treatment?
