I have a pregnant stray chihuahua that gave birth to 5 puppies. I am concerned about the puppies reaching sexual maturity and potentially breeding with each other. At what age do female puppies typically come into heat, and what can I do to prevent unwanted pregnancies given my financial constraints?

Seven-year-old male Vizsla named Tonka had his 3rd rabies shot and a sedated nail trim on Tuesday. Since then, he has been hiding in a dark room, not settling to lay down, not drinking for 2 days, and his eyes are dilated. He also seems very nervous, swallowing more than usual, pawing at the blankets but then can’t stay down, and hiding in a dark room by himself. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?

My Labrador, Coco, is coughing as if something is stuck in her lungs. She was fine and running around yesterday, but this morning she started coughing up saliva and it seems to be taking a toll on her body, causing stomach cramps when she coughs. She is 3 years old, about 55 pounds, and has been healthy except for occasional vomiting after eating something unusual. What could be causing this coughing and what should I do?

Hello, my 8-week-old puppy fell from about 4ft off the ground 3 hours ago. He is walking fine and drinking water but is having trouble breathing with an uneven heart rate. He doesn't appear to have any broken bones or ribs. What could be the issue and what should I do?
