My dog, Wicket, a 13-year-old Yorkie, has been making weird breathing sounds like sucking through a straw and choking coughs. This started a while ago and happens often. He had a vacuum out to his nose as a pup, which damaged his throat, and it's getting worse. He's also blind and deaf but still eats, goes outside, and sleeps a lot. What could be causing this and what can be done to help?

The symptoms you're describing are likely due to a collapsing trachea, a common issue in small breed...

My dog, Toby, had surgery on Monday to remove a mass from his lip. He pooped Monday morning before his surgery but hasn't pooped since then. He's on tramadol, which may be causing constipation. He's also not eating much. Do I need to bring my dog to the emergency vet?

My dog, Bentley, a 2-year-old yorkiepoo weighing 8 pounds, has a history of pancreatitis. His symptoms just started yesterday with diarrhea and fussiness with food. I currently have COVID and am unable to go out. I need a prescription for an antibiotic to prevent his condition from worsening.

My dog’s eyes are swollen and shut. The swelling was noticed this afternoon after the dog, named George, an 18-month-old, came back from a groomer. One eye is completely shut. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My Puggle, Yogi, is lethargic, cannot stand up, and has a slightly warm nose. He got into the trash with cat food cans about six or seven hours ago and has not eaten since. What could be wrong and what should I do?

Daisy, a 7-year-old dog, has a red blister in her lower eye that appeared 4 days ago. She has been rubbing it. What could this be, and is there anything I can do to help her until we can see a vet next week?
