My dog, Tonks, a 13-year-old Labrador mix, got up from a nap and can't seem to balance. She loses her balance to the right, is panting, and her eyes are focused straight ahead. She hasn't taken any medications and last saw a vet less than a year ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 15-month-old rescue dog named Gia. She wakes up every night between midnight and 7 AM, coughing and vomiting water and white phlegm. I've only had her for a few weeks and don't know her health history. What could be causing this, and what should I do to help her?

My 7-year-old, 4-pound Chihuahua named Rianna is leaking brown and red ooze from her vagina, has a bloated stomach, is not eating, and seems to be in pain. She is not spayed and I suspect she has pyometra. What should I do, and what can I expect in terms of treatment and recovery?

I have a 13-week-old Yorkie puppy that weighs 1.9 pounds. She has had two episodes where she becomes lethargic with pale gums after playing and falling asleep. Her body temperature was 99.8°F. I gave her Nutri-Cal and Karo Syrup, and wrapped her in a blanket to warm her up. She recovers after some time. Could her blood sugar be dropping dangerously low because of her size?

My 8-month-old Frenchie/Bully mix, Dodger, started coughing like a honking noise after eating brisket, sweet peppers, purple yam, and watermelon. He weighs about 25 lbs, has no medical conditions, and is not on any medications. His breathing is fine when he sleeps, but he coughs when he wakes up and moves around. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help?

My 30 lb Boston Terrier named Beau, who is 3 years old and healthy, just ate 2 heartworm prevention tablets (Sentinel Spectrum). Is a double dose toxic to him, and what should I do if he shows signs of an upset stomach?
