What happens if a dog swallows a spring?
A swallowed spring is hard to pass and may lodge in the esophagus or gut, causing blockage with swallowing trouble, vomiting, drooling, and bloating. It can also scratch the tract and cause bleeding or perforation, and metal coatings may poison. Have it removed by scope or surgery if not passed in 3 days.
My dog’s eye has been bruised, swollen, and purple. It keeps shaking its head and is vomiting.
Hello, based on your brief description I can't make an accurate diagnosis. From the photo you uploaded, the dog doesn't appear to have a serious problem, but without knowing its medical history or how long the symptoms have lasted, I can only judge that the head-shaking and vomiting are caused by a bump or possible poisoning. If the dog's head was struck and caused a concussion or head injury, it could lead to local swelling and vomiting. The owner should take the dog to a vet for a thorough examination and targeted treatment based on the results.
My dog is passing blood in its stool and won’t eat; it got chilled during the recent cold snap and has a cough.

What if a dog eats salt?
Moderate salt is fine and supplies electrolytes and maintains fluid, pressure, and nerve and muscle function. Too much causes tear stains, especially in Bichon and Teddy, and hair loss and kidney burden. A large one-time amount may cause salt poisoning with thirst, vomiting, and even seizures.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid, listless, and has no appetite.
Yellow vomit has many causes, including gastritis, blockage, indigestion, pancreatitis, nephritis, liver or gallbladder disease, and poisoning. Get an abdominal ultrasound, blood, and fecal tests. If a vet is inconvenient, fast 6 to 8 hours; if vomiting stops, give amoxicillin-clavulanate and cimetidine plus probiotics. Give glucose electrolyte water during fasting to prevent dehydration.
