My dog started vomiting for no reason and is very quiet. Usually she is hyper. Her dog food has been the same for 2 weeks. She is not quite 2 years old, vomited all over when I got home from work last night, refused dry and canned food this morning, and keeps drooling. She has not vomited since yesterday but has nothing in her stomach. She is usually very active but is now very docile.

My girlfriend's 14-year-old Black Lab has been having breathing problems for a couple of years, but nothing serious. Last week, she started wheezing a lot, and an X-ray showed gray areas in her lungs where they should be dark. The vet prescribed antibiotics and a drug to help her breathe, but after 3 days, she is still wheezing. The vet also mentioned an irregular heartbeat. How long does it usually take for antibiotics to work in a dog this age, and what is the usual treatment for fluid due to heart disease?

My 11-year-old standard poodle is on thyroid medication (thoroxine) and I think the evening dose may be too much for her. She pants, which could indicate an overdose, and I'm wondering if this could also cause her to cough, or if coughing is unrelated to the medication dosage.

My dog, a brindle pit bull, died suddenly at age 9 without showing signs of being sick. What could have been the reason she died?

My three-year-old chocolate lab started limping tonight. I found medium-sized bumps on her front toe pads and a smaller one on the adjacent pad. They are dark-colored, sensitive to touch, and resemble blisters. She hasn't done anything unusual recently. What could this be, and what should I do?
