We have a 1.5-year-old Llewellyn setter named Indy. She keeps licking her back two teats a lot, and they look a little swollen compared to the others. She was just at the vet for her shots, and they didn’t seem concerned, but she wasn’t licking as much as she does now. She had her last heat cycle in August and hasn’t been spayed. What could be causing this issue, and what should we do?

Our 7-year-old dog, Lucky, has been coughing/gagging frequently for a few months. We've tried antibiotics and steroids, but they haven't worked. An x-ray, blood work, and urinary analysis showed no abnormalities. His cough has worsened, but his mood and appetite remain unchanged. What could be causing his cough, and what should we do next?

My 6-month-old mini poodle, Beau, is wobbling, barely able to stand, lethargic, and has lost his usual energetic personality. He threw up thick bile but has not eaten or drunk water since. He was neutered on March 9th, and his incision area looks fine. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?

My dog gave birth to 5 puppies, but had to undergo a c-section for the 5th puppy. She developed a fever of 104.6°F and was found to be anemic. Is it common for dogs to be anemic after giving birth? Is a fever of 104.6°F a concern for a nursing dog post-c-section? Can an ultrasound identify internal bleeding effectively? Does the situation I described sound usual and okay?

Our dog, Ace, a 10-month-old, 73-pound dog, has been shaking his head and scratching it due to an ear infection diagnosed at Petco. The infection has been ongoing for a week, and when I cleaned his ear, it had dark red stuff. What should we do until we can see a vet on Wednesday?
