I took my 6-year-old Chihuahua, Taz, to the vet for a persistent cough that has been going on for 6 days. The vet prescribed cough syrup without seeing Taz, and I am concerned about the legality and appropriateness of this situation. Taz has a dry, horrible cough that ends in gagging, and I am worried about his condition. What should I do next?

My 15-year-old Shih Tzu, Mushu, has had loose stools for a couple of days and now has firm yellow stool with red blood in it. He is eating and drinking normally and has been on a chicken and rice diet for two days. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sammie (7 years old, 37-38 lbs), ate 13-15 small milk chocolate Santa’s wrapped in foil, totaling about 4.5-5 oz. There is no xylitol listed in the chocolate. It happened 60-90 minutes ago, and she has not vomited. Is there any need to make her throw up, and is this amount still within a 'safe' range for her size?

My dog, Bruno, is bloated and has trouble jumping on the bed and couch. He has had this bloating for a couple of days, is not on any medications, and last saw a vet a year ago. He is 8 years old and weighs 10 pounds. His stomach is sometimes big and hard. What should I do?
