My dog, Dollar, a 6-year-old miniature pinscher, poodle, pug mix, has been throwing up yellow/dark yellow bile around 5:30/6 am for the past few days. He usually eats a treat afterward but refused it today and went back to bed. He has soft stool but not more than usual, and he is itchy due to allergies. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-year-old female Great Dane, Carley, has had a slight cough for the past 3-4 months. Today, she showed decreased energy and refused her favorite treats. Her gums are pink. I'm concerned she might have congestive heart failure. What should I do?

My dog, a French bulldog with brachycephalic syndrome, recently had a high fever of 107 and was hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia. He was given sedatives and trazadone, and now seems disoriented. I have several questions: 1. Will the effects of the high fever and medication last long? 2. Should he undergo surgery for his upper airway issues, and if so, will he be monitored for 24 hours post-surgery? 3. Can his umbilical hernia and neutering be done during the same anesthesia session as the airway surgery, or is it too much for him? 4. His esophagus and stomach flap doesn't work properly, causing him to throw up if he eats or drinks too much or gets too excited. Is surgery necessary for this, or is there a medication that can help?

My pitbull mix ate a piece of a grape that my son dropped on the floor earlier today. Should I be super concerned?
