My dog, Willow, a 3-year-old miniature dachshund weighing 10 lbs, has been lethargic, shaking her head, and showing glazed, squinty eyes for the last hour.

What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 12-year-old dog, Jodon, is breathing rapidly and has been like this for two days. He is overweight, barely eats, drinks little water, and has difficulty breathing, especially after exertion. He also has poor vision. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Cosmo, a 2-year-old, 27-pound dog, might have ingested part of a chewed-up rubbery plastic toy. I found the toy in his crate, torn into small pieces smaller than a dime. He hasn't vomited and is eating and drinking normally, but hasn't pooped since around 3pm when I believe he chewed up the toy. What should I do to ensure he passes any ingested pieces safely?

My 105 lbs dog, Nahla, licked spilled coffee grounds (unused—bag spilled). It’s been 2 1/2 hours and she is lying on the couch without symptoms. Has she thrown up since licking the coffee? What else should the vet know before I connect with them?

My sister and I accidentally gave my dog, Vinnie, a double dose of phenobarbital this morning. He takes 30 mg twice a day and weighs 25 pounds. Can I still give him his afternoon dosage of phenobarbital?
