My 12-13-year-old Pomeranian, Nala, has developed a dry, coarse cough with retching over the past few days. The cough started after taking her on walks in the neighborhood where other dogs are walked. She is eating, drinking, and not exhibiting labored breathing. I am unable to get an appointment with a vet. What could be causing this cough and what can I do to help her?

My 1 1/2 year old lab mix, Ember, chewed or ripped her nail off completely down to the nail bed 3 days ago. She limps a little and continues to lick the area. Should I take her to the vet for this injury?

We had our Great Dane’s anal glands expressed a week ago. The fluids have decreased, but we’re still coming from his anal glands. I noticed tonight that there was blood now coming from his anal entrance. He has been pooping and eating normally. He is three years old and has had his anal glands expressed a couple of times before, but this is the first time the problems have continued even after having his glands expressed. What should we do?

My daughter's 80 lb dog bit my 10 lb dog in the thigh. There are two tooth marks, not much blood, and the wound doesn't seem deep. However, the area is sensitive, swollen, and hot to the touch. What can I give him for pain, and should I plan a vet visit tomorrow? What should I watch for?

My 110-pound German Shepherd, Sophie, is acting lethargic, shaking, and vomited once. She went off into a bedroom by herself last night, which she never does, and she's not eating or drinking much. She was given a dewormer and Benadryl for the first time yesterday. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?
