My Chiweenie, Pyper, is wheezing, was lethargic yesterday but has more energy today, is eating and drinking, but still wheezing. Her stool was very soft today, and she didn't eat yesterday but ate a good dinner tonight. Could she have eaten something unusual? She is approximately 4 years old and a rescue. Is there anything I can do at home to help her until her vet appointment on November 22nd?

My dog, Parker, a two-year-old Boston Terrier, has been exhibiting fly-biting behavior for a few weeks, where he appears to be chasing or scanning for flies that aren't there. He was a 'stud dog' at a high-grade puppy mill during his first year and is very Alpha and not easy to train. He gets bored easily and always wants to play. What could be causing this behavior and what can I do in the meantime before his vet appointment next Monday?

What dose of Pepcid can I give my 4 lb terrier mix named Summer, who is 3 years old and has been vomiting foamy material with particles of food, possibly due to eating old food? Is there anything else I should do for her, and could she have any other health issues such as Pyometra or pancreatitis?

My dog, Louie, is showing signs of constipation and discomfort. I have pureed pumpkin to give him. If I give him tramadol for pain, will it make constipation worse? What other remedies can help, and how much Miralax is safe for a 20-pound dog?

My 13-year-old miniature Pinscher, Daisy, has pancreatitis and is on a strict low-fat diet. She tries to vomit several times a day, especially at night, but nothing comes out. She also takes Proviable-Forte to prevent diarrhea, which she gets every other day with her canned food in the morning, and the rest of the day she has dry food. She has been to the vet, but they didn't see her trying to vomit there. What could be causing this and what can be done to help her?

What is best for a dog with bloating, gas, and gut issues? I have tried multiple probiotics but not sure which is best. Sensitive to most given.
