My dog has been coughing a lot lately, with a hacking cough that seems like she's trying to clear something from her throat. Her vet attributed it to allergies without testing. I'm concerned because she's been coughing a lot today, and she seems to be a mouth breather, often panting. Could these symptoms be related, and should I take her back to the vet or stick with the allergy diagnosis?

My 2.5-year-old goldendoodle has been wheezing at least once a day for about 5 seconds. He has been completely healthy, but this has been happening on and off for the past few weeks, including during sleep. What might be causing this, and should we see a vet?

We have a 15-month-old female beagle mix named Bella who has had diarrhea for 5 days, only vomited once, stopped eating for a day, and started on chicken and rice 2 days ago. She ate well this morning but has been sleeping most of the day, not walking, and is now shivering. What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?

Kline is a 6-month-old teacup Chihuahua with severely infected eyes. The infection has been ongoing for 5 days, and the owner cannot afford the $160 fee to see a vet. What can be done to treat Kline's eyes, and how long until improvement is expected?

My Maltipoo, weighing just under 7 pounds, ate a petal from a pink Lily (possibly a stargazer) about an hour ago. I induced vomiting with 3 1/2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide, and he threw up white slime, food, and part of the petal. He is currently alert and resting. Do I need to give him more hydrogen peroxide to throw up again, and what should I monitor for in his condition?

My dog, Sassy, a 7-year-old terrier mix weighing 17 lbs, experiences anxiety-like symptoms such as shaking, panting, and wanting to be held for an hour or two, about once every one to two weeks. She eats and drinks normally and has a lot of energy, but these episodes have been occurring off and on for a couple of months. There are no new changes in the environment, and she does not cough during these episodes. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
