My 12-year-old chihuahua, Bo, weighs 24 lbs and is causing me a lot of stress due to his inconsistent health. He sometimes acts like a 2-year-old puppy for a few days, but then he suddenly stops eating, won't go for walks, and just lays on the floor. He's been drinking a lot of water and his urine lasts a minute when he pees. He had upset stomach and diarrhea issues, which stopped after I started making his food (rice, cooked hamburger, pumpkin, and plain Greek yogurt mixed with dry food for upset stomachs). I've taken him to two different vets, but they only gave him pain pills. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Jimmy, who is nine years old, occasionally tries to regurgitate, which seems like something is stuck in his throat. He has no problem eating or drinking, and these episodes are sporadic. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I have a 4-year-old male Labrador Retriever who is healthy but I just noticed a red cyst-like bump by his toe on his paw. It had pus near the end of it which is now gone. He isn't bothered by it. What could this bump be and should I be concerned?

My dog is having episodes where she is breathing heavily and panting as if she was just running a lot, but she was only laying down resting. She is almost 10 years old, spayed, has pink gums, eats and drinks, and is on a steroid for a suspected neck injury. She was diagnosed with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis and recently had trouble walking, which has improved but she is still not 100%. What could be causing these breathing episodes and should we be concerned about COVID-19?

My 2-year-old Labrador, Samson, is drooling blood sometimes, which started about half a day ago. He ate grapes on Saturday afternoon, October 16th, but has not shown any discomfort or signs of kidney failure since then. His teeth look normal, and he is not coughing. What could be causing the drooling of blood, and what should I do?

My 9-year-old black lab/Springer spaniel, Molly, is having trouble using her back legs, acting skittish, and is hard to wake up. This is the first time this has happened. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?
