I have a 17-year-old mutt who has had a bad cough for two days, similar to a child with croup, and has been coughing up phlegm initially but now is dry heaving. She is tilting her head but not shaking, and her breathing is fine. She weighs 17 lbs and is eating and drinking normally. She is not on any medications for other issues. What should I do for her cough?

My 3-year-old Golden Retriever, Luna, has a hot spot on her face. I shaved the fur around the area, and it doesn't look as irritated today. She has been scratching at it but not licking or rubbing it. What should I do to treat it?

My 1-year-old toy Chihuahua fell off a high bed onto a hardwood floor and hit her head slightly. Now she is keeping one eye closed. What does that mean?

My dog, Shadow, a 10-year-old puggle, has pink blood in her stool this morning. She seems to be about the same in thirst and is always hungry. We suspect she may have Cushing's disease due to abnormal blood work, but it's not confirmed. She has also been having accidents and diarrhea for 24 hours. What could be causing the blood in her stool and what should we do?

My 10-pound, 11-year-old dog, LouLou, swallowed one of my Eliquis pills (5mg) about an hour ago. Has the dog thrown up since eating the pill? Is there anything else the vet should know before I connect with them?

I have a 2-week-old lamb with bloat. It's midnight and I can't get to the vet. The lamb has been bloated for about 2 hours, is breathing hard, and can't lie down. It hasn't been seen by a vet yet and hasn't had colostrum. We've given it 10ml of water with baking soda and have a small plastic tube but haven't used it yet. I also have some old augmentin antibiotics for humans. What can I do to help the lamb?
