My 5-year-old neutered pitbull, Doshin, has been aggressive towards other dogs in our yard for about two years. He has bitten a dog before but caused no severe wounds. What can be done to address his aggression and prevent him from being sent to a shelter?

My approximately 3-year-old neutered male lab mix, Fred, has not been eating for over a week, taking only small bites and eating table scraps intermittently. He is drinking regularly, has regular bowel movements and urination, but is lethargic and depressed-looking. He still wags his tail and interacts, but has slightly heavy breathing. He has been trying to eat grass and received a maintenance dose of de-wormer 3 days ago. What could be causing his lack of appetite and should I take him to a veterinarian?

Our Mini Golden Doodle, Bailey, is 22 months old and weighs approximately 24 lbs. She has had diarrhea for the last two days with frequent stools, some dark and some normal, and has vomited yellow bile. She is not hungry but is drinking a little water. She has also been eating grass and has no appetite. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should be taken to help her?

My 2-year-old spayed Sheepadoodle named Maggie suddenly started coughing whenever she walks around. She coughed up water and then phlegm that is mostly clear with some yellow and foam. When she lays down, she seems to be okay. Her temperature is 39.4°C. She is healthy otherwise, but I'm concerned. Is this something we should be worried about? She is up-to-date on all shots, and we took her to an outdoor training facility yesterday where she was also groomed last weekend. Her breathing is normal, and she seems to be acting okay otherwise, still eating and drinking. I wondered if it could be kennel cough, but the sound seems different than what I heard before. Can you help?

My dog had swelling on her eye and mouth last night. I gave her a half a Benadryl tablet at 3:15am, but she's not as wild and playful as usual. What could be causing this and what should I do?

A 120 lb golden retriever named Abby, aged 4 years, swallowed an Aleve 220 mg about 45 minutes ago. She was also limping on her right rear leg, which led to the administration of the Aleve without realizing its potential danger. What should be done in this situation?
