Last night, she woke me up around 5am (which is very unusual for her since she always sleeps through the night) and obviously needed to go out. I took her out and her BM seemed to be kind of runny, but it was hard...

Question about tummy aches
My 2 1/2 yr old Shih Tzu, Nemo, apparently had a stomachache Friday night, as he whimpered all night and first thing he wanted to do when we got up was go outside and eat grass. He ate a ton of it, then threw it all up. He then seemed better, but of of course very tired from no sleep and rested pretty...

Concerned and confused..
I'm not sure if this is the proper place...but it seems to be a sort of illness. We have a dog, a puppy beagle mix that's about 5 months old. He seems to have had a constant erection for the past 2 or 3 days. He's walking oddly and licking it alot. I have no clue what it may be and figured...

Cataracts
Has anyone seen cataracts in very young dogs (under 3)? If so, what was usually the underlying cause of the issue? I am very interested to know! Thanks for any input!

Not itchy, but still scabby skin/fur?
My dog Tasha, has what looks like scabs on her back.... I'm not sure how to explain it really but if you feel for them, they feel like ticks/bumps/scabs and look like scabs. She's not overly itchy in those areas or anything so it doesn't seem to bother her. But it doesn't look that great...

Can an ear infection cause an upset tummy?
Mac, my 2 yr. old golden/lab mix has an ear infection. He has been on drops since Saturday morning and seems to be getting better (not shaking his head as much).
