Hello, my name is Yvonne Halpenny. I have a dog named Morrissey, who is eight years old. On Saturday, he started refusing his food, and I noticed he had a hookworm in his faeces.

I am a guardian owner of a two-year-old Bernadoodle who has given birth to her third litter in the last 14 months. This was an unwanted pregnancy, and she mated with one of her own pups from her first litter. The owner (breeder) gave her an 8-day course of dexamethasone to terminate the pregnancy, but she later gave birth to 10 pups. My concern is the health of these pups, considering the interbreeding and the use of steroids during the early stages of gestation. In your opinion, are these pups likely to be healthy, or should they be euthanized due to potential health issues?

My mini pincher, Rambo, is coughing and occasionally spitting up phlegm, and his eyes are tearing. He is 5 or 6 years old and has not been lethargic or running a fever. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My puppy, Kobe, has a bloated stomach but is showing no symptoms of GDV. He isn't whining or drooling. He has worms and was just put on a dewormer from PetSmart yesterday. What could be causing the bloated stomach and what should I do to help him?

Does it cost money to talk to a vet? My dog, Roscoe, is 4 years old and has been vomiting, not eating, and hasn't pooped in a day or two. He is peeing and vomiting yellow. He switched foods last week but is back on his normal food. He doesn't have a fever, stomach pain, or appear dehydrated.
