My dog, Darcy, a 5-year-old terrier mix, has a swollen nose and a few bumps on her side. She was itching her paws and shaking her head. I gave her Benadryl immediately. Is an emergency vet visit necessary, or can I wait to see if the Benadryl helps?

My dog may have eaten about 5mg of melatonin. The dogs weigh about 20lbs and 15lbs respectively. They seem fine and are running around playing. What should I do and is there any risk of low blood pressure?

My dog, Cooper, is breathing strangely out of his nose, sounding like dry heaving, with episodes every 20 minutes. He recently exercised heavily and had heavy panting for about 5-10 minutes, followed by drinking water. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

My 6-month-old Goldendoodle, Stetson, ate a large amount of cat food this morning, resulting in a bloated stomach, diarrhea, excessive panting, and difficulty sleeping. He has not vomited since, but has been very gassy and thirsty. What could be causing this and what should I do to help him?

My 10 1/2 year old shepherd boxer has trouble getting up after lying down for an hour or more, with weak back legs that gradually improve after a few minutes. He can run and walk fine once warmed up, but hesitates to get up from lying down positions. He has trembling in his back legs after running, which has worsened over the last couple of months. He had blood work done recently, which showed excellent condition with no abnormalities. Does this sound like arthritis or something more serious like degenerative myelopathy or intervertebral disk disease (IVDD)?
