I have a 9-1/2 year old female boxer named Roxy who has become very weak, shows signs of pain, shivers, and has difficulty moving and finding a comfortable position. She also has intermittent periods of lethargy and decreased appetite and hydration. Three weeks ago, she was checked by a vet with normal blood tests except for slightly elevated liver and pancreas readings, which were attributed to eating bird suet. What could be causing her current condition and what should I do?

My 1-year-old dog ingested an unknown quantity of human drugs, has been vomiting and has tar-like stools. What should I do, and is it too late for treatment?

My 4-year-old Walker hound mix has been nipping at his anus for the past 3 weeks. He has regular normal bowel movements but occasionally sits longer after defecating, expecting more to come out. He had a brief episode of watery, mucous-black diarrhea in early September after a change in his dog food, which resolved but was followed by the current nipping behavior. A parasite test was negative, and he doesn't eat miscellaneous waste. What could this anus nipping be, and what is the remedy?

Hi, I have a 10-month-old Shih Tzu. Three days ago, I washed him and something triggered reverse sneezing. He was fine before. I think water might have gone into his nose or some dust triggered allergic reactions. Now he is breathing very loudly, like his airway is tight.

My Pekingese is having trouble breathing. He takes medication for a heart murmur and is on an antibiotic for a temperature. I also give him half a Benadryl pill for allergies. The vet is closed, and I feel helpless. I've been keeping him calm.
