My dog, a Great Dane mix named Buck, has been vomiting for several weeks, has gained 20 lbs, is very weak, pants and drools constantly, and has been coughing with a wet cough. He was initially thought to have tick fever and has been on doxycycline for two weeks without improvement. He has also vomited foamy bile and food, and recently spat up green mucus. What could be causing these symptoms and what further tests should be done?

My dog has blood in her urine, is having accidents in the house, not eating or taking treats, and may have ingested a minimal amount of rat poison (bromadiolone). She has a history of UTIs and has started showing symptoms coinciding with the use of rat poison. Additionally, she has started exhibiting weird breathing, described as snorting like a cat coughing up a hairball, which is intermittent.

I just got a new dog who is about a year old. He was given to me in front of Safeway, and shortly after, he started showing signs of distress, including diarrhea and a limp. An emergency vet clinic in Corvallis, Oregon, diagnosed him with a heart murmur and found illegal substances (heroin and meth) in his system. What can I do to ensure his well-being, especially concerning the heart murmur?

I have a 7-year-old Yorkie Poo named Simi who hasn't pooped since Saturday and is constantly crying. What could be causing this and should I take her to a vet?

My dog ate a bone and now can't bark. She weighs 45 pounds, is named Penelope, and is 8 years old. She ate the bone yesterday and has been outside most of the day. I don't know if she has thrown up since then. What should I do?
