I have an echocardiogram report for my 4-month-old English Setter, Uno, who has a grade 4 heart murmur. The report indicates mild thickening of the mitral and tricuspid valves with mild insufficiency, turbulence in the right ventricle/right ventricular outflow tract of undetermined origin, and increased velocity of 3.1. I am concerned about the potential for heart failure and whether Uno can live symptom-free, especially given his intended high activity level as a hunting dog. What should I understand from these results, and what follow-up actions are recommended?

My rescue dog, Scooty, who is around 8 or 9 years old and has had his vocal cords cut, occasionally gets a cough. He started coughing today, but is breathing and acting normally. What specific medications should he be on, and can you prescribe them since our regular vet and local vets are closed due to weather?

Is this ringworm? My dog has a raised, inflamed area on her face that looks like an abscess. She recently fell on her face, and I noticed she's been licking the area a lot, which might have caused it to become infected.

My dog ate a very small amount of chocolate from a protein bar. The amount of bar she ate was less than a gram and the amount of chocolate was even less. She seems to be okay. Is there something we could give her to counter the chocolate, what signs should we look for. She is 50 lbs.
