My 13-year-old dog has a good appetite but has had erratic breathing for the last two days.

My 15-pound dog ate some small plastic beads from a necklace. She threw up about 10 beads after I gave her hydrogen peroxide. She was lethargic afterward and tried eating mud. What should I do, and how long before she poops out the remaining beads?

My dog, Loki, woke up with diarrhea and I'm not sure if it was something he ate. He's almost two years old, swallows everything whole, and I noticed there were some reddish spots in his stool. Is there something I can give him to help with his tummy ache? He's still drinking water and eating.

My 13-year-old female Corgi beagle mix, Mackenzie, suddenly started panting and pacing this evening. She is not coughing, her gums are pink, and she is eating normally. She is somewhat stiff and unable to get a full breath. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 5-month-old puppy named Arlo who is experiencing tachycardia and occasional mouth tremors. The tremors started about 10 minutes ago and are not constant, occurring only when he has been licking something. There are no other symptoms such as coughing, limping, or drooling. Is there anything else I should know or do?
