My dog, Oli, a 7-8 year old 81-pound brown lab, suddenly started swallowing, drooling a lot, and looking noticeably uncomfortable. He had a bowl of dog food around 3pm and a cracker later, but hasn't vomited. He takes Rimadyl for pain. What could be causing his discomfort and what should I do?

Oli's symptoms, including excessive drooling, swallowing, and discomfort, are consistent with nausea...

My dachshund, Gunner, has been experiencing stomach pain off and on for the past few days. He suddenly starts crying and stretching, then shivers for a while. Last week, he threw up his dog food a few times but hasn't since then. He is still eating. What can I do for him?

My 12-year-old female Labrador named Rocket has a noticeable swelling around her rear ankle/Achilles. She walks on her tiptoes and favors the leg but shows no signs of pain and wants to run. The vet did not recommend surgery and advised to keep her sedentary. Can I wrap or use a brace to support her leg, and should I continue to restrict her from running, especially since we live in mountainous terrain with uneven and rocky surfaces?

My 8-month-old Boxer, Bingo, goes for my 5-year-old’s hands and feet with his mouth when he wants her to play. He doesn’t realize his size and she gets knocked down and starts crying. We have gone to dog training and he’s generally a good dog, but this is the only issue we have. It’s like play biting for attention and maybe a bit of oral fixation. Any ideas what we can do?

What should I do if my 15-pound, 2-year-old dog ate an edible containing THC and chocolate a couple of hours ago, and has not vomited since?

I have a 10-week-old foster puppy named Willa who is breathing rapidly. She was playing hard and has been breathing fast for over 45 minutes. Her chest is moving rapidly, and she feels a bit warm under her arms and belly. What could be causing this and what should I do?
