Our dog Terry, who is almost 7 years old, was sleeping and then started trying to clear her throat for 20 minutes. We noticed brown spots near where she sleeps, which smell like beef liver. This is unusual for her. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My 5-month-old golden retriever puppy, Betty, had an allergic reaction causing swelling around her left eye, nose, and mouth. The vet gave her Benadryl and added a steroid, but she has thrown up both medications. The vomit was mostly food with a little foam and liquid. The vet suspects the reaction was from eating a spider or bug, and the vomiting started after the steroid. Betty also had redness in her ears, they were warm to the touch, and she had a high temperature but not quite a fever. What should I do to help Betty with her symptoms and prevent further vomiting?

My dog, a 2-year-old Half Shiba Inu mix weighing approximately 20-21 lbs, was given a few slices of prosciutto last night. He has been vomiting, with the first few times containing the prosciutto and later foam and brown liquid, sometimes pink. He has also had soft stools and appears lethargic. What could be causing this and what should I do?
