My 1-year-old Sheepadoodle, Derek, weighs 65lbs and has had a cough for the last week. I have a vet appointment scheduled for Thursday. Should I wait for the appointment or is it an emergency that requires immediate attention?

My dachshund, Einstein, ate a whole bottle of NutraVet Quiet Moments, containing 28 pills. The bottle was closed, and he chewed the top off. He has not vomited yet and is laying quietly. What should I do?

My dog, Sugarbear, a 7-year-old terrier weighing approximately 25 pounds, has been clingy, panting off and on, and her tongue, ears, and nose were hot. She has been eating and her poop looks normal. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 6-year-old 80-pound Lab named Brier is limping on his right front leg. The limping started yesterday and seems to occur after he plays hard or goes on long walks. He lets me touch and feel his legs without flinching, and he has had some pain pills. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi Dr. Mike! We noticed a spot on our female American Bulldog, Sookie, a few weeks ago. It looked like a bug bite but has grown larger recently, about the size of a nickel. There is no fluid, and it does not seem painful or itchy. We are in Alaska and have attached photos. What could this be, and what should we do?

My dog, Pluto, a 9-month-old weighing 23 lbs, accidentally ingested a 1000 mg Garcinia Cambodia capsule along with 50 mg calcium, 50 mg potassium, and 200 mcg chromium. He has not vomited since ingestion. Should I be worried, and what should I do?
