My 12-year-old chocolate lab has been experiencing unusual respiratory issues, characterized by abdominal pushes expelling air in a cadence, sometimes ending in a feline hairball-type cough or gag without producing anything. The condition was initially triggered by excitement but now occurs more frequently indoors, subsiding when outside. There is also occasional wetness from his nose, and muscle contractions in his underbelly area when lying down. What could be causing these symptoms?

My dog, Savannah, a 6-year-old Doxie/Terrier, has become lethargic, flinching when approached, and her appetite has suddenly decreased within the last hour. She lives in a rural area with a tenant who smokes marijuana and makes brownies. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?

My 17-year-old dog, Patches, has been experiencing a decrease in appetite and has an odor coming from his mouth. He has been eating on and off for the past two weeks, but today he hasn't eaten anything. He also makes a chattering noise from his mouth and seems weak at times. He has Cushing's disease. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him until I can take him to the vet?

My dog was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma on the spleen about a month ago, and it has since spread to her liver and lungs. We did a splenectomy and she is on yunnan baiyao and I’mUnity supplement. I am concerned about the appropriate time to euthanize her, as she is eating well and sometimes gets around well but also needs help with her back legs. I am trying to figure out how fast the cancer would likely spread in her lungs and if we can safely have a couple more days with her.

My dog, Prince, is 3 years old and has been vomiting (both liquidy and foamy, with no food) and shaking since this morning. He has no appetite but still wants to play a little. Could the dog have eaten anything unusual? What should I do to help him?
