My 1-year-old, 65-pound golden retriever, Brutus, ate a fruit bar with the wrapper and was trying to poop it out for about an hour. He was drooling a lot and now seems weak and tired. He ate chicken broth but won't take treats. When should I worry and take him to the vet?

A dog I'm watching ate two packs of cheese crackers. The dog is around 30-40 pounds, a bichon named Jasmine, and is approximately 15-20 years old. She hasn't vomited yet. What should I do, and what symptoms should I watch for?

My dog, Maximus, a 2-year-old Rottweiler, has been eating less and less over the past few days and is now not interested in eating at all, not even treats. He is still drinking water, but his activity level has declined significantly. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog has had lesions on his paw pads since early September, which have mostly healed after changing his behavior. However, I recently noticed new areas of concern behind the main paw pads on both hind legs, covered in a thick brown scab/crust. Should I continue to clean these areas with chlorhexidine and apply isaderm, and how often should this be done?

My dog hurt his lower spine on Friday morning. He can walk on his back legs but hasn’t urinated or defecated since then (28 hours). He has been given anti-inflammatory and painkillers. He has drank some water and had a small amount of dog food. What could be causing his reluctance to urinate or defecate, and what should I do to help him?
