Our pet rat Carly is lethargic, has a pronounced back bone, and is unable to stretch her body properly. She was fine two days ago. She is eating her regular food but is not very stable when walking. What could be the cause of her condition, and what should we do?

My dog, Asia, is 6 years old and recently experienced heavy bleeding after being bred. She has since lost her appetite, drinks a lot of water, and has been vomiting multiple times, with the vomit containing mostly water and some heavy phlegm. She seems to be coughing before vomiting and has periods of lethargy. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 2-year-old Chihuahua, Killer, started having a fever and became lethargic in his hind legs, not eating or drinking. I took him to the vet who diagnosed him with an unknown origin bacterial infection and prescribed Zeniquin and Stiffen. Despite the medication, he's not improving and now won't drink at all. I'm on disability and have limited funds. What can I do to help him?

My dog, Tinker, has been pacing all night and seems unable to get comfortable, with occasional whining. She just started this behavior last night. I gave her a muscle relaxer from a previous vet visit as she has a history of bladder stones. The last vet appointment was in April 2020. Should I take her to an urgent care clinic today, or can it wait until tomorrow?

My dog, Sunny, a 1.5-year-old, has a swelling on his eye that started about an hour ago. He doesn't lick the affected area. Yesterday, his nose swelled up (like an allergic reaction) and he received a Benadryl shot, which resolved the issue. Now, his eyes are swollen. What should I do?
