My 2-year-old King Charles Spaniel, Rudder, has started whining when jumping up to the couch or over the threshold of the door, and is sensitive to touch around his hip area. He otherwise behaves normally, walks, eats, and drinks without issue. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 14-year-old dog, Sparatickley, occasionally experiences episodes where he tenses up, has difficulty breathing, and makes a gurgling noise. These episodes happen suddenly and last for a while, but he seems fine otherwise, including during walks and when running. What could be causing these episodes, and what can I do to help him?

A 15-week-old puppy named Beckett, who has been with us for 2 days, is not drinking water for 2 days and not showing hunger today. His energy seems fine, and he is not in pain. What should we do to encourage him to eat and drink?

My dog Willie, who is about 4 years old and weighs 33 lbs, is constantly regurgitating foamy vomit containing food and water. He seems tired and is shaking a bit, but can walk and jump normally. He hasn't had diarrhea and there's no blood in his vomit. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations, and I have rat poison in locations he can't access. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 4-month-old golden retriever named Bentley who becomes extremely aggressive when he has something in his mouth that he’s not supposed to, including growling and snapping. He’s good with toys, treats, and his food but aggressive with forbidden objects. What can I do to address this behavior without using a shock collar or rehoming him, especially since I can't afford a professional trainer at the moment?
