My 5-year-old dog, Bella, has been coughing for 1-2 days, with the frequency increasing in the last 24 hours. She is bringing up a thick white discharge and has been vaccinated for Kennel Cough. She spent half a day in daycare one week ago. Her appetite and energy level are normal, and she has no history of heart murmur or other health problems. What could be causing her cough and what should I do?

My 2-year-old GSP dog is moving very slowly and tentatively, which is unusual for his high energy nature. He ate dinner and drank water, but his behavior is concerning. What could be the issue and what should I watch for?

My 12-year-old dog, Ricky, has red skin on his belly and under his hind leg, with black scales and bumps on his leg, head, and ears. His scales fall off, and he licks and scratches a lot. He was attacked by Huskies three years ago and has a black scar from the incident. He recently moved from Nebraska to Michigan and is showing signs of stress due to a Husky in the apartment across the hall. He's been treated with Zymox spray, Benadryl, antibiotics, and steroids, but the itching hasn't stopped. What could be causing his symptoms and what can I do to help him?

I started my 4-year-old beagle on fish oil three days ago because he has been scratching a lot. I have been giving him one gel cap a day. Last night, he threw up and had very loose bowels. Is this a result of too much fish oil?

My dog, Lovie, ate a piece of beef jerky and some almonds. She is 10 years old and weighs 74lbs. She seems fine so far, but I'm concerned about her digestion. Should I be worried, and is there anything else I should know?

I have a 10-year-old English bulldog named Sugar who has green mucus coming from both nostrils and sounds congested. She also has dry eye syndrome but is otherwise healthy and weighs about 75-80 lbs. Can I give her amoxicillin, and if so, what dosage should I use?
