When a dog is dying from heart disease, is it normal for the tongue and gums to turn blue, for the dog to cough up fluid and blood-colored fluid from the lungs, and to experience drowning symptoms? I thought the end stages of heart disease typically involve a heart attack or kidney failure.

My 8-year-old cocker spaniel has bronchitis and is on half a tablet of 5mg prednidale every second day. She has not coughed or gagged for several days, but I am worried that these tablets will harm her eventually. I spoke with a friend who had a labrador with bronchitis, and the vet suggested giving the dog Benalyn cough mixture. My dog is in good health and full of life, but I am concerned about giving her tablets. What advice can you provide?

My dog Mika has been experiencing severe gastrointestinal issues, including diarrhea, stomach churning, and a reluctance to eat. She has been on a diet of rice and sardines, but her condition worsened after trying a vegetarian canned food. She also has a history of IBD or IBS and is passing blood and mucous. What immediate steps can I take to help her until I can see the vet on Wednesday?

My German Shepherd has had extreme discharge from only one nostril (the right one) for two months. The discharge is white and very thick. I've had him checked by a vet but they couldn't determine the cause. The discharge has been consistent with no change. What could be causing this and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I have a Yorkiepoo, he is 3 years old. His right eye was red first with some matter in it, and about 3 days later, the left eye began to do the same thing. I bought him some eye rinse, but it only seems to work for a couple of hours and does not seem to be clearing up. What should I do, as I can't afford a vet?
