My dog, a 5-year-old boxer mix named Pablo, has been having occasional issues with his left hind paw. X-rays suggest a possible cruciate ligament rupture, which might require surgery. However, Pablo can still comfortably 'sploot' (sit in a frog-like position). Is it possible for a dog to have a cruciate ligament rupture and still be able to perform such a position?

My obese dog, Sadie, is coughing up white phlegm and sounds like she has croup. She ate her dinner fine but is now laying calmly but wakes up to cough and spit stuff up. Her stomach is not distended or swollen. Should I bring her to an emergency vet?

My ten-week-old puppy, Birdie, is very lethargic, wobbly, and hasn't roused much since falling asleep around 8 PM, which is unusual. She ate her entire dinner at 6 PM and played a bit before falling asleep. She also ran and hid in the bushes swaying a bit when taken out to go to the bathroom. What could be wrong and what should I do?

I think my 10-year-old German Shepherd, Dallas, might have acute glaucoma. One eye only is swollen today, and it looks like her third eyelid is closing in. What should I do for diagnosis and treatment?

My 13-year-old chihuahua, Papito, has been vomiting for several days, often with bile and small pieces of grass or leaves. He recently vomited after eating boiled chicken. He also has difficulty settling at night. What could be causing this and what should I do?
