I am disappointed in the surgical treatment of my dog's cherry eye. The surgery cost over $600, and the cherry eye recurred within 2 weeks despite wearing a shield and using prescribed drops. The vet acknowledged the recurrence but offered no guarantees for a second surgery. I am questioning the acceptable standards in veterinary medicine for such outcomes.

My dog has been throwing up for 2 days, has only gone to the bathroom once with difficulty, and is now coughing. I don't believe he came in contact with anything in the home, but I do know our lawn is sprayed with pesticides this time of year. If not better by tomorrow, should he be checked out or should I try the bland diet with him?

One of my cockapoos may have swallowed a spongy slip-on type toe bandage that was on my big toe with generic Vicks VapoRub. It fell off and I can't find it, and one of my dogs is notorious for finding things and chewing them. What should I do? No symptoms yet and he's eating milk bone treats OK.

My 7-year-old female dog got into some crab leg shells 2 days ago and is acting very scared. She hasn't pooped but has eaten a little food and drank a little water. If you rub on one side of her stomach, she growls a little and gets tensed up, and her head feels warm. What can I do?

My dog, a part Shepherd, has been experiencing episodes where his eyes are open but glazed, he has low breathing, becomes limp, and doesn't respond to touch or voice. Then, after minutes or hours, he snaps back to his usual self. Is this a sign of a seizure?
