My dog, Thiago Castro, is coughing and trying to vomit, and is yawning with his mouth open for long periods. He has a history of a small trachea problem and has had Kennel Cough as a puppy. He is breathing normally but looks tired and seems weird. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Paul, a mixed breed mostly lab, is crying and not moving much, crawling when he does move. He didn't eat dinner last night and hasn't had a bowel movement or urinated since yesterday afternoon. He also didn't follow me downstairs yesterday and sat down a short distance from the door when I tried to take him out. What could be wrong with him and what should I do?

My 11-year-old 20lb mini schnauzer, Winston, ate fabric from my daughter’s underwear. I am not sure how much he ate, but it looks more shredded than eaten. He has not vomited since, and it was about an hour and a half ago. Should I take him to the emergency vet, considering the cost, or is there another way to handle this situation?
