We got our puppy, Reggie, just over a week ago. He is 9 weeks old and started having diarrhea after 3 days. He was up every hour the first night, and it would start as diarrhea and then become liquid. We brought him to the vet, who gave him a probiotic and recommended no treats, just dog food. His poop solidified briefly but then the diarrhea returned. We sent a sample to the vet, who found no worms or parasites. Reggie is in pain when trying to poop, and his anus is starting to get a purple tinge. We are feeding him Purina Pro Plan shredded chicken and rice, which is what the breeder was feeding him. How can we help Reggie get regular and what else should we consider?

My puppy, Grizzly, got a very small amount of rat poison. He hasn't vomited since ingesting it. What should I do to ensure his safety and when are we out of danger?

My Schnauzer, Rocco, will be 2 in April. He had one seizure a month ago and has now had four seizures since yesterday around 4 PM central time. I've tried to get him into a vet and an emergency vet, but they are full. What can be done for him, and is there a chance he could pass from these seizures?

My dog suddenly started panting, shaking, and convulsing. I don't know if he ingested something. He is 70-80 lbs, 3 years old, and there are no emergency vets available. What should I do?

I have an 8-year-old Rat Terrier named Reepicheep with severe resource guarding issues towards both people and food, especially around children. He has bitten several times and shows aggression when picked up or separated from what he's guarding. He also dislikes being put in a crate and has bitten when forced into it. Will he be able to be adopted and/or trained out of such behavior?

My dog, Celeste, a 17-week-old golden retriever weighing 20-25 pounds, possibly ate a bit of larkspur around 1:30 a.m. She woke up to go to the bathroom again at 2 a.m., which is unusual for her, but she doesn't have any other symptoms. Should I be worried about her condition, and how should I monitor her for any potential symptoms?
