My 9-year-old Shih Tzu, Chloe, has been making a coughing sound like she is choking, especially when inside the house, for about 5 days. She seems to breathe okay and is otherwise normal in eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom. She also snores loudly and makes a duck-like noise. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?

Chloe's symptoms could be indicative of reverse sneezing, a condition where dogs rapidly pull air in...

My dog, Roxy, was attacked by a coyote last week. Two of the bite wounds are inflamed and may need antibiotics. How can we get a prescription, and what antibiotics can be used if we have human antibiotics at home?

My 7-month-old puppy, Blue, has had diarrhea for a couple of days. It started 3 days ago, and I don't think he ate anything unusual. He tasted store-bought puppy food but didn't like it. What should I do?

My short-haired dog, Zeke, has raised hair spots with little red bumps, is sensitive in those areas, and has been scratching and shivering. He was recently groomed and is not on flea prevention. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 3-year-old Rottweiler, Hercules, jumped off my mother's 2nd story balcony a week ago. He was taken to the ER but due to high costs, no further treatment was provided. He is still in pain and using only 3 legs. I am concerned about internal injuries and cannot afford the X-rays. What should I do to help Hercules recover, and how can I tell if he has any internal or bone injuries?

My 4-month-old mini goldendoodle, Roxy, tested positive for an inactive form of Giardiasis and was given Panacure and Metranidozone. After stopping the medication 2-3 days ago, she still has soft, even liquid stools and strains when she poops. Could the medications cause this, or could she have ingested something causing a blockage? How can I determine if this is medication-related or due to ingestion of foreign objects?
