My 1 1/2-year-old dog, Luna, ate half a Scotch Brite sponge last night. She had a hard time pooping and threw up afterward, but her gums were moist and pink, and she seemed fine. She has been sleeping most of the day and has pooped several times, but I haven't seen any sponge in her stool. She's not eating much and doesn't seem like herself. What should I be looking for and what should I do?

My 5-year-old female pug, Joanie, who is normally very hyper, is acting ultra-calm tonight, panting, and shaking like a chihuahua. She didn't eat her dinner, which isn't uncommon for her. She takes Prozac every morning for aggressive behavior towards cars and dogs. What could be causing her unusual behavior and should I give her tramadol for pain relief?

My dog has been panting excessively for the last day, even when resting and not doing any exercise. She stops for a bit but then starts again. Her gums are fine, and she's eating and drinking normally. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Sandy, a 15-year-old dog, has lost his appetite, is lethargic, has unsteady legs, labored breathing with occasional awful coughs, panting, and some loss of bladder control. He was treated for a cough with antibiotics a few months ago, but this seems different. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should be done?
