My 11-month-old Shepherd-Collie mix, Simba, was in perfect health until he suddenly started panting rapidly while holding a treat bone. He may stop for 15 seconds and then start panting again. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My golden retriever, Lexie, pulled her hind leg muscle today. She is walking on it but has trouble going up stairs or getting on the couch. There is some swelling, but she is eating and drinking normally. She slipped on ice or snow. What can I give her for the pain and how long should I give it to her?

My dog, Jill, a little over a year old, has been experiencing a lack of appetite, loose stools, and occasional diarrhea, with some mucus and blood in her stools. She also eats a lot of grass daily, which is rarely accompanied by vomiting. What could be causing these issues and what steps should I take to address them?

My dog, Koral, a 3-year-old weighing 45lbs, got into 2 chocolate protein bars, one pouch of chocolate protein powder, some granola bars, and a container of apple cider vinegar vitamins. It has been about 15 minutes since I discovered this. Should I take her to the emergency vet?

I want to get a toy for my friend's Sheltie, which is a year and a half old. I'm concerned about the dog's health and safety with toys. I've heard plush toys aren't good for dogs' teeth and could be swallowed. I'm also unsure if a toy labeled for large dogs and heavy intensity chewing would be suitable for a smaller dog like a Sheltie. What type of toy should I choose for this dog?
