My 10-year-old dog, Maxine, has been scoffing her food as if always hungry, has a bloated tummy, is listless, and has gained weight over the past week. I have given her worm medication but it doesn't seem to be helping. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Yoda, is currently taking furosemide and pimobendan to help with fluid in his lungs. He is taking short, shallow, rapid breaths today and coughing more than usual. He is a 9-year-old silky who had heartworms years ago. What should I do?

My 4-month-old, 4lb puppy ate a 1-inch piece of plastic zipper teeth and some cardboard. The cardboard was eaten 24 hours ago and has not passed yet. The puppy has not vomited, is acting fine, eating normally, and shows no abdominal pain. However, he sometimes seems like he is about to vomit and has inconsistent stool consistency. Should I be concerned about an intestinal blockage, and when should I take him to the vet?

My dog ate half a pack of Glica Pocky chocolate. The dog weighs 6 pounds and is a Maltese around 3-4 years old. I am not sure when the dog ate the chocolate or if it has vomited since. What should I do?
