I have a 9-week-old Boston Terrier named PJ who occasionally spits up fluid, mostly phlegm, without abdominal contractions or retching. He has a good appetite but has fallen slightly behind on his weight. What could be causing this and what can I do until I can get him to the vet?

My 6-year-old German Shepherd, Raleigh, has been trying to vomit but can't for about two hours. He eats quickly, and his stomach looks big. He seems uncomfortable, anxious, and is pacing. What could be wrong, and what should I do?

My 6-year-old chocolate lab, Bear, has been exhibiting unusual behaviors for about 6 months, which have recently worsened. He is snapping at the air and licking himself excessively. He was last seen by a vet 2 months ago and was prescribed trazodone for anxiety, but there has been no improvement. What could be causing these behaviors and what further steps should be taken?

Hi, my dog is on day 5 of amoxicillin and acting nauseous in the hours after medication administration (gagging, panting). I wanted to know if it is okay to give her a Zofran oral tab for nausea. Her name is Natasha, she is an 8-year-old Catahoula, and she weighs 60 lbs. She just had a checkup and everything else looked great.

My dog, Sadie, a 7-month-old 40-pound dog, ingested an unknown amount of ibuprofen about 2 days ago and has not been to the vet. She has thrown up since, has noticeable personality changes, is drinking a lot of water but peeing uncontrollably, and now has new onset black stool. What should I do?
