My 7-year-old Shih Tzu, Molly, has been coughing and dry heaving for the past day. She does this for a while, then lays down and seems fine. She is eating, drinking, and breathing normally, but the coughing episodes have been more frequent. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Our dog, Olive, a 3 1/2-year-old Labradoodle, has thrown up the entire contents of her stomach twice in the last few days, consisting of relatively undigested food plus yellow bile. Both times occurred early in the morning after she drank copious amounts of water. She eats twice a day, about 1 1/2 cups of dry food, sometimes with an added envelope of soupy chicken mix. She is otherwise healthy and sleeps well. What might be the problem?

I have a 9-week-old puppy named Piper who suddenly started being wobbly. She still runs around and plays but seems off. Her eyes move from side to side, and she had a flea tablet yesterday. What could be causing her wobbliness, and what should I do?

My dog, Lolo, a 1.5-year-old Australian Cobberdog weighing 40 lbs, ate 3.5 doughnuts, 1.5 of which were chocolate. Some of the doughnuts had sprinkles, and the chocolate was in the form of frosting. Should we be worried about the chocolate or xylitol, and what should we do?

My 16-year-old miniature schnauzer is having cluster seizures every 4-5 hours, which started yesterday. He had his first seizure a month ago. He is now on potassium bromide, but he is lethargic and seems out of it, even having accidents in the house. Should I continue giving him the medication, and is there a possibility of changing to a different anti-epileptic medication?
