Hi, my dog just had about 5 minutes of dry-heaving with no vomit produced. He seemed anxious during that time. He's since stopped, and seems pretty normal; rolled over for pets, and is lying on the couch now. His tummy feels a little full but doesn't seem sensitive or hard. I know dry-heaving can be an emergency, but since he seems OK now, is it OK to monitor him at home? He is 6 years old and a 65 pound mutt.

My dog, Stetson, has swelling and redness in his eyes. This morning, it was only in one eye, but now it has spread to the other eye. I have given him Benadryl and dog aspirin. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

My 8-week-old puppy, Cassi, is limping on her front paw and crying. She is holding her paw up and won't let anyone touch it. She is trying to get comfortable but can't. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My Jack Russell Terrier has recently started to tremor badly, has trouble walking, and is refusing to eat or drink water. She may have eaten some napkins with raw chicken juice on them and has been hiding and shaking inside the house. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 10-year-old German Pinscher, Raider, is drooling, won't get up, and is panting heavily after receiving dewormer from Walmart. She had stopped eating her hard food but was drinking and eating soft food okay. She was fine when I got home from work but is now showing these symptoms. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog's left eye is red and has purulent discharge. He is itching it and it appears red in the bottom corner. I noticed the itchiness 2 days ago, and it got worse last night and this morning. He has been rubbing it quite a bit. Tucker is 2.5 years old. Is there anything else the vet should know before I connect with them?
