My 8-year-old Cavalier/Papillon mix, Tucker, is lethargic, yelps when his abdomen is touched, breathes with his mouth open, and seems to be in pain when going up and down stairs. He also occasionally coughs as if choking on a hairball and licks the floor. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I look out for?

My dog, Riley, a 9-year-old Yorkie, has suddenly developed black discoloration on the entire roof of his mouth, under his tongue, and part of his tongue. This change occurred completely out of nowhere and is very concerning. Riley has been drinking more water than usual and has shown some stress due to the female dog in heat. He has also had surgery for intestinal blockage before. What could be causing this discoloration and what should I do?

I have a brand new puppy named Rigatoni who won't eat, has vomited, and has had diarrhea 10 times yesterday. His energy level is below average, and he seems to be in no pain. He was rescued and is about 8 weeks old, having received two vaccinations, including a booster shot yesterday. What should I do?
