My 6-year-old male Labrador, Ben, was chasing another dog with a stick outside and started gagging as if something was stuck in his throat. I couldn't feel or remove anything, but it felt hard. He is now eating, drinking, barking, and breathing normally. Is it possible for something to still be stuck without him showing signs?

My 13-year-old Chihuahua has started to collapse and can barely stand, but he's eating and drinking regularly with some help due to his lethargy. He doesn't have any known existing conditions or medications. What could be causing this and does it require immediate attention?

My 12-year-old dog, Chuck, has been itching and scratching excessively after being given Beneful food and flea and tick medicine. He has lost half of his hair and now avoids going outside. He sometimes chokes as if wanting to vomit but nothing comes out. What could be causing this and how can I help him?

My 12-week-old purebred yellow lab, Laylah, received her shots 2 hours ago and is now sleeping but breathing fast. She won't eat, has swelling in her leg, and is sore at the injection site. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 7-year-old German Shepherd mix, Ruby, has lost a significant amount of weight over a couple of months and has recently gone blind. Her behavior remains largely the same, except for needing retraining due to her blindness. She eats well, drinks several bowls of water daily, and remains cuddly and playful. However, I'm concerned about her weight loss and the sudden onset of slower walking and vomiting since this morning. Should I take her to an emergency vet, or can I wait until regular vet hours?
