My 100-pound Old English Sheepdog has very bad breath with excessive plaque buildup, which seems to seep out through his skin. I have changed his food, had his teeth cleaned including an extraction, and found that antibiotics given during the extraction cleared up the breath issues. I've heard that putting him on antibiotics periodically might help. What could be the root cause of this issue, and what should I investigate or do next?

My 10-year-old Chihuahua mix, Phoebe, has been experiencing shaking, diarrhea, lethargy, and shivering since this morning. She ate yesterday but not today, and she is not barking, playing, or jumping on my lap as she normally would. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Otis, who just turned 7, suddenly experienced shaking and couldn't hold himself up, leaning to the right. This lasted about 4 minutes and there was no coughing, limping, or drooling. He is currently walking normally and seems mentally appropriate. What could this be and what should I do?

My dog, Mina, ingested 4-7 Zicam dissolvable tablets. She seems fine, but should I be worried about potential toxicity? She is 8 months old and weighs about 50-55lbs.

My dog, Tanner, a 3-year-old, has been throwing up for 45 minutes and is now panting, pacing, gagging, and choking. The vomit looks both liquidy and foamy, and contains food. It's possible he ate something unusual. What should I do?
