Hi there! My 1-year-old Shih Tzu, Olivia, choked on a treat and I had to use my fingers to remove it, causing her to gag and vomit. She returned to normal behavior immediately after, but I'm concerned about traumatizing her. Is she okay if she's showing no signs of discomfort?

I have a Borkie named Max, age 5. He is reluctant to run up and down stairs, won't jump down, and starts panting. He also shakes intermittently and is less playful, allowing us to touch his tail more than usual. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Lenny, just had neck surgery for a herniated disk with paralysis. How long can it take before he shows signs of feeling his legs again, and when do you see signs of recovery? Additionally, if a dog starts to lose his sight, do they have trouble with balance when jumping off the couch?

My dog has open wounds on his head and near the ear. He's been scratching it for a day, and there is some bleeding but not severe. There are no changes in his eating, drinking, or stool habits. What can I do to help him until I can get an appointment with a vet?
