My 6-month-old dog, Daisy, was bitten in the neck around 9 pm. The bite is not severe, but she has been bleeding on and off and now has bloody drool. Our vet advised not to stitch the wound and to apply pressure. Daisy has also vomited twice in the last hour. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I do?

Our dog, a Boston Terrier mix (25.5 lbs), ingested some mascara and later showed small bruising. Her platelet count dropped from 152,000 to 38,000. The vet suggests steroids, an X-ray, and a Coag Test. We want to know if the mascara ingestion could have caused the platelet drop and if she really needs the strong steroids or if we should let her body naturally boost her platelet count.
