My 9-month-old Chihuahua, Ora, has been vomiting foamy substance periodically all night. She hasn't eaten or had energy, and there's no gagging or retching sound before vomiting. Her gums are pink, and she weighs 4 lbs. What can I do to help her at home, and when should I seek professional veterinary care?

My 12-year-old Golden Doodle, Josie, has been experiencing a persistent cough that was initially thought to be kennel cough but has not fully resolved despite treatment. Recently, she has also vomited yellow bile, shown a decreased appetite, intermittent weakness and shaking in her hind legs, and increased lethargy. She had GDV surgery last year and recently had X-rays showing a 'weird' lung pattern that the vet sent to a specialist. Her blood work has been clear, but she has a mass on her spleen detected via ultrasound. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done?
