I have a small dog, 6 lbs, who has a swollen throat likely from a bee sting. I gave him baby liquid Benadryl but possibly too large a dose. He woke up shaking and growling, and was taken to the vet where his temperature, heart, and breathing were normal, so he was sent home with no treatment. Now, he is vomiting yellow bile and his skin is bright red. He does not appear to have any sore or tender areas. What should I do?

I have a 2.5-year-old Shih Tzu who has high platelet counts (PLT 565,000 and PCT) during her heat cycle. The vet mentioned it's rare for a dog of her age to have high platelets. Should I be concerned, and are there any additional tests or physical signs to look for?

My 10-year-old Pekingese dog is lethargic, has a warm body, trembling legs, and is favoring his front left leg and paw. He also struggles with getting up from the floor, jumping, or going up stairs. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog stumbled after coming into the house and showed signs of panic, including a racing heart, sweating, and a gentle whine. He also snapped when touched near his neck and lower ear base, which is unusual for him. Twenty minutes after the incident, he is calm but his breathing is slightly labored. Should we go to an emergency animal hospital?

My 7-year-old dachshund ate a whole bag of dried pineapple. Is this poisonous to her? She is acting lethargic and has vomited twice. Before I realized what she had gotten into and picked up her bowls, I noticed her drinking abnormally large amounts of water.
