My 11-year-old Pomeranian has been diagnosed with a heart problem and is experiencing coughing, panting, difficulty breathing, and coughing fits that end in sneezes and more coughing. She is currently on lasix, hycodan, and enalapril, but these medications do not seem to be helping. Her appetite is unaffected, but she sleeps more than usual. What needs to be done to determine the cause of her cough and manage her condition effectively?

My 2 1/2 year old, 5 lb chihuahua, who is normally very active, has not been wanting to get up even to eat or go to the bathroom. She hides from me under the bed if she gets a chance. About a week ago, she went to jump up on the recliner with me and let out a loud 'yelp.' After that, she would sometimes whine when trying to jump or stand on her back legs. I took her to my vet who couldn't find a reason for her condition. He gave me pain meds which made her very drowsy. This all is so unlike my baby and I am really worried. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 25-pound American Eskimo dog may have ingested approximately 1/2 cup of undiluted Mr. Clean around 10:00 a.m. We returned home at 2:30 p.m. to find several spots of vomit on the floor, which included yellow/green liquid and partially digested food. The dog seems alert, with normal breathing and activity levels. What should I do?

I have a 2-year-old Redbone Coonhound with an ear problem and skin bumps. He is shaking his head, digging at his ears, and his ears are warm but not red or swollen. He also has small, flaky bumps on his sides and ribcage. What could these issues be caused by?
