My dog, Duchess, a miniature schnauzer aged 8, has been vomiting since this morning. She has not eaten since this afternoon and vomits even after drinking water. Her vomit is yellow and foamy. We suspect she may have a bug from outside. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a purebred golden retriever named Rogan, who is 2 years old. He is drooling excessively from one side of his mouth, yelping in pain, and showing signs of lethargy. He is not eating much, but he was drinking water last night. What could be causing his symptoms, and what should I do until I can see a vet?

I have a 10-year-old beagle named Sammy with chronic heart disease and hypothyroidism. He is currently being treated with medications for his heart and thyroid. Recently, he has started coughing more, pacing around, and is unsettled with constant panting and rapid, rough breathing. He coughs whenever he drinks and is slowly finishing his meals. How can we make him more comfortable and is there anything else we should do before seeing his vet in the morning?
