puppy with gurgling tummy
I have noticed in the past couple days off and on an audible gurgling in my dog’s puppy. She (8mo border collie cross, neutered) hasn’t had any change in eating habits, although she does have a bad habit of eating out of the garbage, and if there are any scraps on the ground eating those as well. We try to keep this to a minimum, but sometimes it is difficult to stop her. She hasnt had any change in her behavior or demeanor, her nose is still cold, and she is very active and happy. Should I be worried? Is this just a normal occurance of indigestion? I have looked up a condition called bloat, however, aside from the gurgling, she doesnt have any other symptoms. It doesnt appear to be getting worse. I have not noticed if she has had bowel movements in the backyard, although i imagine she has. Please help!

dog urinating around the house
Our dog Mia (5yo female neutered Labrador) has been urinating around the house. It’s fairly inconsistent, but we’ll find spots of urine in various places, such as the carpet, her bed, and our bed. We thought maybe it was a defensive reaction to our cat, but I’m starting to rule that out, because she’ll urinate where she’s lying, essentially urinating on herself. She hasn’t exhibited any other abnormal behavior. Her stools are fine, etc. Any advice?

dog being restless at night uncomfortable
Estee (5yo female neutered Maltese) was normal yesterday. She got up late last night to poop (normal) and then for the rest of the night, and this morning, she has been unable to get comfortable. She lays down and then sharply sits up. She looks at her back end, and her tail moves to the side, and she stretches her back and back legs continuously. She will only lay down for moments at a time, and cannot settle down at all. She wants up and down off of the bed, but WILL NOT jump off the bed now. She has been trying to sleep sitting up. She does have a knee cap that pops out, and does quite frequently jump off the bed, as she did last night, but this has never happened before. I can’t tell what is bothering her exactly, and I don’t want to make the Vet come in on a sunday, if it’s not a problem.
