My dog, Ladi, a 5-year-old 68-pound dog, experiences intermittent pain in her chest area and sometimes limps on her right leg. She moves a bit slower than usual and is generally very hyperactive.

My 11-month-old Cavapoo Gordo has been dealing with kennel cough for almost three weeks. He was prescribed a cough suppressant, and while the cough initially lessened, it has now worsened again. Is it normal for kennel cough to persist this long and worsen after showing improvement? Should we be concerned about pneumonia, especially since he has no other symptoms besides the cough?

I gave my dog, Buffy, 75mg of trazodone and 1/3 of a 25mg tablet of Benadryl for anxiety. She is 34 lbs and is incredibly drowsy. Is this dosage safe and what should I expect?

I have a rescue husky who was originally on a raw meat and milk diet. He has had poor appetite, intermittent GI issues, ear infections, chin lesions, and an upper respiratory infection since I got him. My vet tested his pancreas, fecal test, and Addison's disease, all of which were clear. He has been on various medications and probiotics to improve his appetite and GI health. I am considering switching him to a human diet but need advice on how to ensure he gets proper nutrition and how to manage his ongoing health issues, including his skin lesions and ear infections.

My 10-year-old Brittany Spaniel, Chester, has been excessively licking, vomiting, and gagging for the past half hour. The first vomit was liquid white foamy, the second was large and contained all the food vomit, and the third was foam. He is also a three-legged dog. What could be causing this and what should I do?
