My 14-year-old dog, Sparatickley, occasionally experiences episodes where he tenses up, has difficulty breathing, and makes a gurgling noise. These episodes happen suddenly and last for a while, but he seems fine otherwise, including during walks and when running. What could be causing these episodes, and what can I do to help him?

A 15-week-old puppy named Beckett, who has been with us for 2 days, is not drinking water for 2 days and not showing hunger today. His energy seems fine, and he is not in pain. What should we do to encourage him to eat and drink?

My dog Willie, who is about 4 years old and weighs 33 lbs, is constantly regurgitating foamy vomit containing food and water. He seems tired and is shaking a bit, but can walk and jump normally. He hasn't had diarrhea and there's no blood in his vomit. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations, and I have rat poison in locations he can't access. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 4-month-old golden retriever named Bentley who becomes extremely aggressive when he has something in his mouth that heโs not supposed to, including growling and snapping. Heโs good with toys, treats, and his food but aggressive with forbidden objects. What can I do to address this behavior without using a shock collar or rehoming him, especially since I can't afford a professional trainer at the moment?

My dog, Baby, is vomiting foamy vomit, hacking, and has a slight rattle in her chest. She is not lethargic or weak, and her gums are not white. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do at home to help her?

15 minutes ago, I accidentally gave just over 3/10 cc of Vetsulin to my 80-pound dog (11 years old) that was intended for my 34-pound dog. I've been rubbing syrup on his gums, and he seems okay for now. No vets open around here; the nearest emergency is 60 miles away. What should I do to monitor and support my dog's condition until I can get him to a vet?
