I have five dachshunds. Two are suddenly presenting with an odd, deep cough that sounds like they're trying to cough something up. It is not a productive cough, though the female, whose cough is slightly worse, is occasionally making foamy stuff come out. They don't have fever, both of their gums are pink, I don't hear wheezing or rattling in their lungs, though the female seems to have a slight hiccup. Do I take them in tonight or is it safe to wait until morning?

My 9-year-old female dachshund has a large knot near one of her breasts, the nipple is enlarged and oozing clear liquid. She has never been spayed and she nests, making milk. I believe she may have a clogged milk gland. Is there anything I can do at home to help reduce the knot and open the gland again?

My dog ate roughly 12 pieces of Orbit brand gum. Since then, she has had a bowel movement or two but hasn't eaten much. She's not acting lethargic, she's playing and running, and still drinking water. What should I do?

I have an 8-month-old German Shepherd who hasn't eaten for about 24 hours, had diarrhea once yesterday, and has dark-colored bowel movements today. His nose is cold, and he is quiet with constant loud gurgling from his stomach. He ate some coyote poo and had raw beef bones recently. Should I take him to the vet tonight or wait until morning?

My 5-year-old Maltese had diarrhea and was taken to the vet. The vet found a small amount of protein in his urine, which they said is not a concern but something to watch. They also prescribed a probiotic paste called ProGut Oral Paste. What does the protein in the urine indicate, and what is the ProGut Oral Paste for?
