My dog, Sparty, is acting very strange after being bitten by a spider a month ago. She has been clingy, jumping on high surfaces, not playing with other dogs, not going to the bathroom in her usual spots, and has strange bowel movements. Her appetite is normal, and there is no vomiting or diarrhea. There have been no recent changes in her environment. What could be causing this behavior and is it safe to wait until our vet appointment on the 19th?

My dog, Lofty, is very weak, not going to the bathroom properly, and has started having accidents in the house with sticky urine. He isn't jumping on furniture or playing like he used to. This has been a concern for the last week and has gradually worsened. He hasn't seen his main vet recently, only a cheaper traveling vet who expressed his glands, causing him pain. What could be causing these issues, and what should I look for or do before his appointment tomorrow?

My 12-year-old male Shih Tzu, Harley, is experiencing chronic gagging, paw licking, and rear right leg limping. He survived a vicious attack 16 months ago and has a heart murmur. He is also overweight. What can be done to correct the gagging?

My rescue Anatolian Shepherd, Shera, is 8 years old and seems to be in pain, yelping when lying down or getting up. She eats and drinks normally, but I noticed this behavior two days ago. She is not limping and can go up and down stairs. What could be causing her pain, and what should I do?

My 13-year-old dog has been coughing on and off for about a month. The cough sounds like a fog horn and she acts like she's trying to bring up phlegm. Her breathing doesn't seem to be affected, and she has a tumor growing into one of her eyes that her ophthalmologist is monitoring. What could be causing this cough, and what should I do?
