My 12-year-old wiener dog, Lizzy Lee, has been wheezing for the last 4 days, which I can hear 80% of the time. She has always been a cougher and has had throat asthma struggles. Her gums are dark pink near her teeth but pale up close to her jawbone. She isn't as playful as usual but gets excited about going outside or playing. What could be causing her wheezing, and what symptoms or signs should I look out for?

My dog, Max, a 1.5-year-old, has been coughing since Friday. He had kennel cough back in August and it cleared up with antibiotics. I'm worried he has it again. His breathing is normal, but he gets coughing fits if he pants or barks. His appetite is good, and he's eating and drinking as normal. I have some cough suppressants that help a little. Should I take him to the vet tomorrow or an emergency vet today?

My dog, Molly, an 8-year-old Yorkie Maltese mix, suddenly became lethargic, drooling, and won't move. She is acting dazed and flinchy when I reach towards her face. She was fine up to an hour ago, and there are no changes in her appetite. I checked around the house and found no evidence she got into anything unusual. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?
