I have a 13-year-old long-haired Apple Head Chihuahua named Polly who was recently diagnosed with a collapsed trachea. She is experiencing coughing, choking, and gasping for air, especially when not held upright. When held upright, her breathing is slightly stressed but better. She was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago and has been otherwise healthy. At what point should I consider euthanasia to prevent her suffering?

My dog ate a few small pieces of chicken shawarma. I’m wondering if the spices and seasonings in it are harmful to her. She weighs about 26 pounds and is two years old. She hasn’t shown any signs of illness since eating it, but I’m concerned because I’m not sure if it contained garlic, which I know is harmful to dogs.

My dog, Luna, a 2-year-old, has vomited three times and is now shaking. The vomit contains almost all food, and she has only eaten her regular kibble. What should I do?

My 15-week-old golden doodle puppy, Hoobes, has been breathing rapidly at about 100-120 bpm for about an hour. There is no cough, and he seems otherwise fine. This is the first time this has happened. Should I be concerned, and when should I seek veterinary attention?

My dog, Milton, got into HemCalm Tablets, a homeopathic medicine for hemorrhoids. He broke the seal on the tablets, and I am not sure how many he has swallowed. He weighs 107 lbs, and I came home to find the package opened. He seems to be acting normal, and his stools were fine after a walk. What should I do?

My dog has been panting/breathing a bit faster, seems a bit fearful, and has had some diarrhea. He's eating, energetic, drinking, and alert. Could this behavior be related to using bitter spray, leading to anxiety?
