My 13-year-old * * Terrier, Sparky, has had a fever for an unknown duration. He has been panting, not eating for the last 4-5 days, drinking very little water, vomiting a few times, and has nasal discharge. We gave him 1/2 tramadol for pain, but he seems very uncomfortable and is shaking. Should I take him to urgent care tonight or wait until tomorrow?

My dog, Teddy, a 2-year-old, has been vomiting mucusy material after eating, and more so in the evening. He has not shown signs of diarrhea. Could he have eaten something unusual? Is this a condition that can wait until morning, or is it urgent? If not, when does it become urgent?

My dog, Korben, a 4-month-old, 8.5-pound puppy, ingested a couple of seeds from a Gold Medallion tree. He is acting normal, but I'm unsure if I should monitor him for 24 hours or seek immediate help to induce vomiting. What should I do?

My dog, Murphy, has severe separation anxiety that has been present since I adopted him 5 weeks ago. He exhibits destructive behavior, has accidents, barks, and shakes when left alone. I've tried crate training, medication (Trazodone and Prozac), exercise, and command training, but the anxiety remains. What else can be done to help Murphy, or is finding him a new home the best option?

My dog, Cookie, a 4-year-old Pekingese, has been coughing for the past 3 days, acting like he's trying to cough up a hairball but nothing is coming up. He seems to be breathing okay but is napping more than usual and not as active. I've been exposed to COVID but am not symptomatic. What could be causing his cough and what should I do?
