My 10-year-old Pomeranian, Chai, who has heart failure and is on heart medications (Cardalis and Flusapex 40 mg three times a day), had an episode where he seemed unwell, had a swollen tummy, vomited from 7pm to 10:30pm, was very thirsty but couldn't keep anything down, became weak and lethargic, and had fast breathing. I'm very concerned and live in the southern highlands of NSW. What advice do you have for managing his condition at home and determining if he needs emergency veterinary care?

My dog, Lexi, ate a grape 3 hours ago. She is 6.4 kg and 14 years old, with hypothyroidism, a heart murmur, and slightly elevated liver enzymes in the past. Should I induce vomiting with peroxide, go to a vet, or wait and see if she has symptoms?

My dog has been experiencing intense itching on her back for about 2-3 weeks, to the point where the skin has broken. She has been trying to bite the area and doing a 'scratchy dance.' There are no fleas, and her diet hasn't changed. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Tank, is vomiting, has diarrhea, won't eat or drink, and has lost a significant amount of weight quickly. The vomit is liquid and snotty-looking, with no food in it. He is 10 months old and fully vaccinated. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My English Bulldog is showing signs of being about to give birth, such as panting, pacing, and pushing, but there is no discharge or blood. She had a hormone level of 4.2 before Thanksgiving, and our regular vet is closed until Saturday. What should I do?

My dog, Kona, a 2-year-old weighing 32 lbs, is uncontrollably shaking for about 5 hours after receiving flea and tick topical treatment. There are no other symptoms except for the shaking. What should I do?
