My 10-year-old standard poodle, Cody, has started intermittently coughing, sometimes just after getting up from lying down or after lying across my lap. I suspect his heart/lung area might be getting compressed and causing the cough upon release. He has been wormed twice this year, does not meet other dogs often, and is generally healthy with normal eating and drinking habits. What could be causing this cough, and what diagnostics should I consider before consulting my vet?

My dog ate my pain killers. He's a medium-sized Labrador mixed with a mini poodle, 8 months old, and he ate about 20 pills, each 10 milligrams. He threw up last night after we gave him some hydrogen peroxide and again after we gave him some Pepto Bismol. What should I do, and could the medications he's currently taking (proviable, metronidazole, sucralfate, and omeprazole) be causing him to vomit and not poop?

My dog, Skeeter, a 11-year-old yorkie/shitzu cross, had an ear infection a few months back and was treated with drops, which seemed to work. Recently, he has been whining when his ears are touched, shaking his head more than usual, and I haven't been able to get him to a vet as no one is accepting new patients. What should I do to help him until I can get him to a vet?

My dog, Chopper, a 1-year-old, is acting like a zombie. He isn't responding to his name, walking into things, and is very weak. He won't eat but will drink. He doesn't seem to be in pain. What could be wrong and what should I do?
