My dog has been experiencing nausea (drooling, attempting to vomit but not productive), fever, lethargy, and loss of appetite. He was admitted to the vet hospital overnight, where x-rays and blood work were normal, but he was dehydrated. He was released with anti-nausea medication and is now drinking water and eating bland food when hand-fed. He is weak and in pain. He recently started going to doggy daycare and had a serious upper respiratory infection in August that took over a month to clear. He was prescribed doxycycline for this infection. What could be causing his current symptoms and what further steps should be taken?

My dog was choking on a Purina chew bone and we were able to push the bone down her throat. She's fine now but is doing dry heaving. I'm not sure if it's because her throat was scratched or something else.

My chihuahua, Prissy, ate a pork chop bone and is in pain, hashing, and unable to sit still. She is 5 years old and was adopted from a shelter. What should I do?

My dog, a 7-year-old lab who was successfully treated for heartworms 3 years ago, may have been poisoned and is experiencing rapid kidney shutdown. I did not see what he ate. What should I know and what should the veterinarian do?

My dog, Mosby, an English Springer Spaniel, ate a 2 oz tin of Skin Soother by the Natural Dog company. The ingredients are all organic, including Coco Butter, sweet Almond oil, Coconut oil, Safflower oil, Candelilla Wax, Sea Buckthorn oil, Lavender, Chamomile, Frankincense, Myrrh, Vetiver, Naiouli, Benzoin, and Vit E. I was using it for a dermatitis problem in the folds of his lip line. What should I do?

My dog, Felix, age 2, was just discharged from the vet after treatment for a bacterial infection and pronounced anemia. He received two drips, an iron injection, an antibiotic injection, and some vitamins. He ate a small dinner but vomited it undigested a couple of hours later. Felix was also in discomfort, not laying down or sitting for nearly 16 hours before going to the vet. What could be causing this and what should I do?
