My dog, Gertrude, a 18-month-old Dogue de Bordeaux, started coughing earlier this evening. She has still eaten her regular treats but seems restless and has coughing fits, accompanied by wheezing. She had her leg amputated a few months ago due to bone cancer and has been doing fine until now. What could be causing her cough and should I take her to the vet immediately?

I have a 13-year-old German Shepherd who is unable to get up due to issues with his back legs. The vet prescribed Carprofen, which has caused severe gastrointestinal issues. The dog cannot go without medication as he cannot get up. What should I do for his pain and gastrointestinal problems, and how can I help him stand and go to the bathroom?

My dog Chevy, a 9-year-old pit bull weighing 79 lbs, has been vomiting a few times after eating, possibly due to getting into dark chocolate a couple of days ago or starting a high-protein diet a week ago. He also has Cushing's disease and a heart murmur. He has been on melatonin for three weeks and has recently vomited after eating a bland diet of chicken and rice with added lamb and rice kibble. Should I give him metronidazole or doxycycline, and why would he vomit one day and be fine the next? Is it safe to give him these antibiotics with Cushing's disease?

My 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Viola, has a rash on her left ear that recurs every summer, especially after swimming in the sea. She scratches a lot and we have been using Nexgard Spectra tablets and Antibiotic Cefaseptin as a spray (Topagen) for the rash. What could be causing this rash and what can we do to manage it?
