Our dog, Alfie, an 11.5-year-old English cross American staff weighing 18-25kg, woke us up 5 times last night wanting to go outside to poop. He ate 3 uncooked chicken legs for breakfast and seemed fine when we got home, but now he wants to go out again. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My dog, Benji, a 4-year-old, started panting and hyperventilating about an hour ago. He also has something inside his left ear that looks like dark spots. I've been cleaning his ear, but today he began to pant and hyperventilate. It's very late at night, and I'm having trouble finding a clinic. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help him until I can get him to a vet in the morning?

My 7-year-old dog, Cole, has been experiencing worsening skin issues over the past 4 months, including hair loss, crusty and flaky skin, bleeding after scratching, and scabs that appear green. He is also on hypothyroidism medication. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Elliot, age 3, was hit on April 1 and had a metal plate inserted in his right hind leg on April 3. He was walking on the leg until yesterday when he stopped bearing weight on it and whimpered when the leg was touched or hit. There is no visible swelling, and he lets me touch the leg and foot. What could be the reason for his sudden discomfort, and what should I do?

What are the biggest warning signs I should be on the lookout for if my 40-pound, 3-year-old dog named Blue ingested a large amount of sugar 24 hours ago, leading to vomiting several times initially but now showing no other symptoms except for occasional vomiting?

My dog, Happy, has been experiencing bloody diarrhea with a horrible foul odor for almost three to four weeks. He acts like he is starving to death and his stool is liquid with no formation, and reddish-brown. Another dog of mine died a month ago with similar symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?
