My 5-year-old German Rottweiler, Oso, collapsed after a night run and has been lethargic, not eating much, and breathing heavily for three days. We suspect he had a heat stroke. What should I do to help him recover and ensure he doesn't have brain or organ damage?

My daughter's 6-year-old dapple Dachshund is experiencing twitching or spasms in the front left paw and shoulder area. The dog is less active and occasionally snaps at other dogs. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable?

My 4-year-old dachshund, Mackenzie, has had diarrhea and vomiting, which started last night. He seemed better during the day but is now lethargic and not feeling well. Should I wait until morning to take him to the vet, or should I seek emergency care?

My 12-year-old Boxer, Scooby, is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning to remove cysts/abscesses in his mouth due to gingivitis overgrowth. He has shown signs of pain tonight, including head down, slight panting, slow walking, and pacing. He was prescribed 100mg of Tramadol, but he is not drinking water and appears uncomfortable. Should we take him to an emergency vet?

My dog has been experiencing chronic digestive issues for several years, with varying results from different vets and medications. The most recent recommendation was a very expensive Hills z/d food.
