My 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Buster, has been experiencing a gag cough for the past two days. He suffers from chronic ear infections, has a heart murmur from birth, and has had ear surgery for a cauliflower growth inside 8 years ago, which is forming again. What could this cough be and what should I do?

My 8-year-old female Basset Hound, Bella, threw up last night, didn't eat, and had diarrhea every 2 hours. She was active at 50% and her intestines were rumbling all night. She and her brother cornered a possum two nights ago. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?

I have a 10-year-old Border Terrier named Daisy May who has been experiencing leg pain for about a year, possibly due to a cruciate ligament issue. Veterinary care and medications are expensive, and I'm considering giving her half a 50 mg Tramadol capsule (25 mg) to manage her pain. Is this safe, and are there alternative pain management options available?
