My 2-year-old female Shar Pei has suddenly become ill. She is shivering, almost shaking, with heavier than usual and almost labored breathing, and is not very warm. I suspect a fever or infection. Should I take her to the emergency room or wait until morning to see the vet?

My 9-year-old foster dog is suddenly losing clumps of fur. He is a male, mostly yellow lab with some shepherd markings. He has seemed fine for the past 3-4 weeks, but recently, I noticed a significant amount of hair loss after petting him. I gave him a bath, which seemed to exacerbate the shedding. His temperament is fine, he's happy, walking well, eating, and we provide healthy, all-natural food and veterinary-recommended shampoos. What could be causing this sudden shedding, and what should I do?

My Schnoodle dog has experienced erratic jerking lasting nearly an hour twice in the last four nights, both times in the middle of the night. Her legs do not jerk, just her body. She has no other symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?
