My dog is showing signs of necrotizing inflammation, possibly due to chronic pancreatitis, which has led to lesions on the liver and an entrapped duodenum preventing outflow from the stomach. The veterinarian who performed an exploratory surgery said there's nothing more they can do. Is there any cure or surgical option to help my dog, and should I seek a second opinion from an internal medicine specialist or go through an ER?

My dog, Coco, a 2-year-old, is coughing and throwing up saliva. She didn't eat anything unusual and there are no other important details to note. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Our 47-pound Siberian Husky, Mia, ate 3 or 4 ounces of new (unused) coffee grounds. She ate the coffee about 4 or 5 hours ago and seems fine. She ate a normal breakfast about 1 hour ago and seems normal and happy. I see no hyperactivity and if anything she is a little more at ease or calm than her normal self. No vomiting, no diarrhea. What should we do?

My 14-year-old lab, who has arthritis, suddenly stopped eating and only wants to drink water. He appears sad, has a cold and dry nose, and was panting heavily earlier but now seems to be breathing louder. He also seems to be in pain and has a slightly bloated stomach. He had an accident and pooped in the house, which was not hard or diarrhea. What can I do for him until I can take him to the vet in the morning?

My dog, Jack, a 5-year-old Coton de Tulear, aspirated a small piece of kibble during a walk. He is snorting, coughing, and has been for about five minutes. He drank some water but is still coughing. What should I do to help him?
