I just adopted a 10-year-old female pitbull named Sophie from a rescue organization. Her bloodwork in Texas showed a low T4 level of 0.9 (normal range is 1-4). My local vet in New York wants to wait a month to retest the T4 due to the dog's stress from the trip. Should I insist on the T4 test being done now?

My 5-month-old Maltese, Roman, is panting heavily and yelping unless I hold him. This is completely out of character for him. He had no cough, and the symptoms started suddenly about 30 minutes ago. Is there anything I should be concerned about, and are there any emergency vet services available in the Fort Washington/Blue Bell area?

My dog, Sausage, a 5-year-old dachshund, has been exhibiting symptoms such as vomiting bile, attempting to vomit, whining, licking his lips, drooling, and making heaving noises for a few hours. He was rescued 4 days ago and has been throwing up a little since then. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
