I have an 11-year-old boxer/pit mix who has been in good health. Last night, she started panting and later experienced shaking, leg stiffness, and foaming at the mouth, which lasted about 2 minutes. This has happened three times in the past 24 hours. She weighs 81 pounds, is up to date on her shots, and has not vomited, but is drooling more and drinking more water than usual. What could be causing this and should I take her to an emergency vet?

My dog, Lily, a 5.5-year-old pitbull, has had an upset stomach with diarrhea for about a week, including some blood in her stool two days ago. She's eating, drinking, and not vomiting, but had diarrhea again and was panting after a walk. What can I do for her before taking her to a hospital?

My dog has been lethargic, low in energy, and didn't eat her breakfast. Her gums are pale, and she was up several times last night to go outside. She may have ingested a small amount of garlic yesterday. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but she moans and lacks energy. She had her shots last week and was not feeling well for a couple of days afterward but seemed better yesterday. What should I do?

I administered hydrogen peroxide to my dog, Townes, to induce vomiting, but he hasn't vomited. He has been lethargic and had red, droopy eyes for about 3-4 hours. His appetite and stool are normal, and I'm not sure if he ate something unusual. Should I be concerned that he hasn't vomited and consider an emergency visit?

My two-week-old puppy, Boogie, vomited a white cheese-like chunk about an hour ago. He looks normal otherwise and has been fed milk formula every 5 hours. Should I delay his next feeding or proceed as normal?
