My dog, Stella, age 4, has been coughing and hacking up mucus since yesterday morning. She was at the dog park recently and is breathing fine. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Ruger, who is 6 years old, was in a fight with another dog about 20 minutes ago and has some wounds, including one area that is still bleeding a little and some swelling. Can I treat these wounds myself, or does she need to see a vet?

I have a week-old cavapoochon puppy who was struggling to gain weight due to being bullied off his mother by bigger pups. He's been getting bottle-fed but has started screaming and now won't eat for us. The puppy seems slightly more tired than usual and is constantly crying. Two of his siblings have passed away in the same way. The puppy seems to be in slight pain, and the crying is high-pitched. We had taken all puppies to the vet, but were told there's nothing that can be done to help puppies at a week old. Can we assume that he has an infection?

My little dog, a 10-year-old Chihuahua, jumped out of a chair and injured her left hind leg/hip. She can't walk on it, is in pain, and is eating and drinking a little. Should I use a splint, leave it alone, or give her aspirin? I am on low income and need help finding affordable veterinary care.

My 13-year-old male mixed-breed dog, Achilles, has been experiencing bloody noses intermittently for at least a week. The bleeding is not severe but occurs after eating or drinking. Achilles was also seen by an emergency vet three weeks ago for lameness and shaking. What could be causing the bloody noses and what should I do?
