I have a German Miniature Pinscher named Sir Precautious, aged 11, who has developed a harsh congested cough that sounds like kennel cough. I have already taken him to a vet who suggested allergies or sinus drainage and prescribed antibiotics, but the cough continues to recur. Is there anything we can get over the counter for him, or should we reschedule for an office visit for a kennel immunization shot?

My dog, Boogie, who is 8 years old and slightly overweight, is continuously coughing as if something is stuck in her throat. Is there anything I can do other than giving her Vaseline?

Is prepaying vet care cost effective? I want to make sure that when my new dog needs routine care, I have money set aside for it. My vet offers a monthly plan for $49 that covers routine care: shots, appointments, fecal, heartworm, etc. I was wondering what the average price of vetting a healthy dog is, and if this is a good choice financially or would an insurance plan make more sense. I’m not sure how insurance plans work, if I pay first and get the money back or if the vets bill them.

My dog ate a significant amount of dry rice. He had normal poop initially, but now I'm finding gelatinous and bloody poop. He also threw up rice. What should I do?

My 8-year-old active Golden Doodle, Henry, has been diagnosed with ITP and is currently on prednisone. Despite responding well to the medication in terms of his platelet count, his back legs are failing, making it difficult for him to go upstairs or run. What exercises can help him regain strength, and is there a medication that could help without as many side effects?
