My dog, Cookie, a 4-year-old Pekingese, has been coughing for the past 3 days, acting like he's trying to cough up a hairball but nothing is coming up. He seems to be breathing okay but is napping more than usual and not as active. I've been exposed to COVID but am not symptomatic. What could be causing his cough and what should I do?

My 14-year-old Shepherd-Beagle mix, Ripley, woke up with heavy breathing and abdominal contractions, refused to eat, and became lethargic. He has been on Curaflex 2 and Galliprant 100 mg, and recently had a diet change with a new type of dry food. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog has had kennel cough for 8 days and has been taking doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, but his symptoms aren't improving and he just threw up for the first time. How urgently does he need to see a vet?

I have a 126-pound Great Pyrenees Retriever mix named Buddy who is 3 years old. He ate 2 or 3 Krispy Kreme Mini Chocolate Crullers from the kitchen counter while I was gone. He hasn't shown any symptoms of toxicity and seems fine. Should I be worried about chocolate toxicity, and what should I watch for?

We have a street dog named Lion, about 2 years old and over 40 kilograms, with an interdigital cyst on his paw. We live in Georgia/Tbilisi where the vet services are not great. We need advice on the best topical antibiotics and treatment for the cyst, and whether oral antibiotics might be necessary.

Our dog, Muffin, a 3-year-old French Bulldog, has had occasional blood in her stool and very smelly farts. She was lethargic once but otherwise healthy, with no vomiting. What could be causing this and what can we do to help her?
