I need to contact a vet familiar with toy breeds, specifically Papillons, and show quality animals. I have a 5-month-old Papillon bitch exhibiting reverse sneezing or herfing. I am concerned about its severity and its potential impact on breeding, especially since my male Papillons also show tendencies towards reverse sneezing. Additionally, I have birds, and I'm worried about their dander contributing to the issue. How can I determine if this reverse sneezing is problematic enough to exclude her from a breeding program?

My min pin is suddenly acting very strange, staring into space, very unstable, scared, and has her ears pulled back. I think she may have eaten an eyeliner. Is she in some sort of danger?

My 10-year-old male Birken has blood in his urine, which is red. He shows no pain, is very active, not overweight, and is neutered. This has happened intermittently before, about six months ago, and now it has returned. He is playful and runs around like usual. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

I clean my 8 lb. PomChi's eyes 2-3 times/week with Eye Pads mostly to avoid staining. Last week, I noticed a stye on the top lid of his left eye. I've been applying Erythromycin 2X/day for about a week, but the stye is red and seems to have 'come to a head'. Should I be alarmed?

Our dog (35 lbs. beagle) just ate a pack of Orbit SweetMint gum containing xylitol. We calculated that our dog ate around 30 mg/kg of xylitol. Should we take our dog to the vet or should we be okay? Are there any treatments at home that we should use? What about giving her some extra bland food like rice?
