My dog, Muli, age 2 (almost 3), has been coughing and gagging all night without vomiting. She had a well-checkup with shots on Thursday and is housed with the same two dogs when I'm out of town. She is bright and alert, with no trouble breathing. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 16-year-old dog named Dalilah has had a scab on her head for almost a decade, which recently started to get bigger and revealed a bloody hole in her scalp. She is eating, drinking, and acting normally. What could be causing this lesion, and what should I do in the meantime before taking her to the vet?

I am traveling with my 8-year-old Chow, Ming, who has anxiety in the car. He was prescribed 150 mg of Trazadone every 12 hours and 2 mg of Lorazapam every 12 hours, which I stagger. Today, he is still very anxious, crying, panting, and very restless. Once the car stops, he settles. Can he take another Lorazapam? He is only taking one per day as he does not need it at night. I still have 2 hours through mountain passes and then heavy traffic to get to the hotel. What could he be prescribed besides Trazadone that could be effective?

My dog, Cooper, who will be 12 in September, is urinating blood. He is neutered, very active and playful, and there is no unusual smell. This has happened before and resolved on its own. What could be the cause, and what should I do?
