My 12-year-old Shitzu, Woody, sometimes yelps and faints after waking up in the morning. He has had a Holter test and an electrocardiogram, both showing his heart is fine. The fainting episodes occur only after he wakes up, and he seems normal the rest of the day. What could be causing these fainting spells, and what should I do to help Woody?

My dog, Teddy, a 9-year-old, has been gagging and licking non-stop for almost 10 minutes after waking up from sleep, sneezing, and struggling. He had a vomiting fit last week, and all blood tests and x-rays were fine. He has a history of reverse sneezing but this episode seems different. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate trash and we’re trying to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide. Can you tell me the dog’s approximate weight, how much was ingested, and how long it has been since she threw up? Also, what’s the dog’s name and age? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

My French Bulldog, Champ, is lethargic, walking slowly with an odd gait, and has a broken nail. I gave him dog aspirin yesterday. Could the aspirin be causing his lethargy? He has been eating and drinking normally, no changes in stool, but acted like he didn't know how to go potty yesterday evening. He recently started taking Apoquel. What could be causing his symptoms?

My 11-year-old Labradoodle, Nala, has been itching and biting her skin a lot, causing scabs and irritation, and emitting a foul smell. She has had skin issues in the past, such as patchy hair loss, which usually resolved on their own. What could be causing her current skin problems, and what general advice can you provide to help manage or resolve her condition?
