My dog, Tippy, an 8-year-old, was in a pet boarding facility for 7 days and has been coughing and vomiting clear phlegm since returning home. She has no history of eating unusual items and has been taking heartburn medicine for similar past issues, but now the coughing is almost continuous. What could be causing this and what can be done to alleviate her symptoms?

My Shih Tzu, Carter, has been vomiting for the last 5 hours. Initially, the vomit contained food, but it has since become slimy, liquidy, and now foamy. He occasionally shakes and is not as active as usual. He hasn't eaten anything unusual. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Hazel, a 5-month-old puppy weighing 40 lbs, ate a hot dog, vomited it up along with yellow and pink bile, and may have drunk chlorine water from a pool. She was given a small amount of dry dog food which she also vomited up. She is currently resting comfortably. What should I do?

My dog ate one of my glasses lenses, and I found it broken into pieces. He has been making a choking sound like he has something in his throat, but his breathing is normal, and he's eating, drinking, and playing well. He had a minor vomit the first night, but it looked like he ate too much grass. Should I be concerned, and what should I do if he has an infection in his throat?

My diabetic Miniature Schnauzer, Axl, is 12 years old and weighs around 23 lbs. He is on Novolin N, 6 units twice a day. Tonight, he ran into the house howling in pain and bleeding from a small hole on the side of his neck. We cleaned the area with hydrogen peroxide and applied Neosporin. He seems to still be in pain when he moves. Is it safe to give him baby aspirin for the pain, and what else can we do to help him?

My 5-month-old dog ingested rat poison. How much of the rat poison did the dog ingest? Any vomiting yet? Is milk okay?
