I have a 13-week-old Yorkie puppy that weighs 1.9 pounds. She has had two episodes where she becomes lethargic with pale gums after playing and falling asleep. Her body temperature was 99.8°F. I gave her Nutri-Cal and Karo Syrup, and wrapped her in a blanket to warm her up. She recovers after some time. Could her blood sugar be dropping dangerously low because of her size?

My 8-month-old Frenchie/Bully mix, Dodger, started coughing like a honking noise after eating brisket, sweet peppers, purple yam, and watermelon. He weighs about 25 lbs, has no medical conditions, and is not on any medications. His breathing is fine when he sleeps, but he coughs when he wakes up and moves around. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help?

My 30 lb Boston Terrier named Beau, who is 3 years old and healthy, just ate 2 heartworm prevention tablets (Sentinel Spectrum). Is a double dose toxic to him, and what should I do if he shows signs of an upset stomach?

My puppy, Laddie, an English cream retriever weighing approximately 20 pounds and 12 weeks old, swallowed an Emergen-C Immune Plus gummy containing vitamin D about 10 minutes ago. He has not vomited since. He recently recovered from a parasite. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I do?

My dog, Maxwell, age 5, hesitates when I call him to come, which he never did before. I give him treats and lots of love when he does come, but this behavior only happens sometimes. How can I change this behavior back to what it was before?

My dog had surgery two and a half weeks ago. The incision has been draining a lot and now has pus. The site is also warm. Can I put anything topically to help the incision site?
