We have an 11-month-old mixed breed dog with recurring diarrhea every 2-3 weeks for the last 8 weeks. The symptoms have progressively worsened, and he has started scratching excessively, especially behind his ears. He eats Purina One Healthy Puppy Formula, has not had any new treats or people food, and has been treated with chalky pills and digestion-helper powders by the vet. The vet now suggests blood work, but we are unsure if it's necessary. Could changing his diet help, and is the blood work necessary?

I have a dog that has had a large growth in her mouth for several years. It has recently become larger, split, and is making it harder for her to drink water. What could this growth be?

My 4-year-old Havanese female has had runny, dark brown stool for about a week, was lethargic for two days but rallied with a good appetite and normal behavior, changed her diet to rice and ground beef, but now she is vomiting bile and undigested rice, and has blood in her stool. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My 2 miniature Dachshunds may have eaten a very small amount of rat poison called chlorophacinone. One weighs 20 lbs and the other approximately 12 lbs, both are middle-aged. I gave them a bowl of milk to counteract the poison. Will they be okay?

My dog ate a box of chocolates and has vomited about 15 times. He is drinking a lot of water. We are watching him closely. I am sure the fact that he is purging it from his system and keeping well hydrated is the right thing. We don't live close to any 24-hour emergency vets but ironically he has a vet appointment tomorrow morning. What should I do?
