I have a 3-month-old female Maltese puppy named Tiki with a cleft lip. She swallowed a large piece of baked chicken jerky treat and has been coughing, gagging, and unable to hold down solid food since. She has been on a liquid diet and seems to be doing better, but I'm concerned about her breathing and overall discomfort. Is it possible that the treat is still stuck in her esophagus, and should I bring her back to the vet or continue with the liquid diet?

My dog, Fendi, is experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. The vomit was initially with food but now is foamy, and there is blood in his stool. He recently ate a different kind of food after 2 weeks of eating another kind. What should I do?

My sister's 5-month-old puppy, Rosie, ate a dose of Viokase meant for a large adult dog. The Viokase contains Protase 57,100 USP units and Analyse 56,400 USP units. Rosie is a healthy 20-pound puppy with no symptoms yet. What should we do about this situation?

My 14-year-old dog, Rocky, has been experiencing sudden episodes of severe pain, characterized by whining, difficulty getting comfortable, and restlessness. He has been given 200mg of Rimadyl, a prescription from his vet, but the pain has not eased. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do to help him?
