My dog has been sneezing and snorting since last night after sniffing something outside. The vet wants $95 to look at her, and I'm not sure if it's an emergency or if I can wait until after the holiday. What should I do?

My dog, Ayani, vomited a small mouse that may have eaten D-con. I had one bait station set out a couple of weeks ago which is now empty, and we have had 4-5 dead litter mates that we got away from the 2 cats before they could be eaten. The mouse was fairly intact, and I saw dark, somewhat coagulated blood beside the mouse, which may have come from the mouse. Is my dog in danger, and what should I do?

A 10-week-old puppy named Remus, who is a rescue mix of black mouth cur and Weimaraner, has just recovered from pneumonia but may now have distemper. He was hospitalized overnight and is on oxygen therapy, showing slight improvement. What more can be done to help Remus, and what should be considered given his current condition and potential distemper diagnosis?

My dog appears to have kennel cough - he was vaccinated last March. The cough is quite pronounced and he seems to be always sneezing - even without a cough. He attends day camp 1-2 times a week. Should I be concerned, or only if he appears ill?
