My dog, Bear, a one-year-old miniature schnauzer, has been making hiccup/dry heave sounds and motions. He got into the trash and may have eaten some chicken leg bones. What should I do?

Can dogs be given 81 mg aspirin for pain? My dachshund can't get around too well and seems to be in pain. Her name is Penny, and she is 11 years old. She struggles with stairs and needs to be carried up them.

My dog, Arthur, a 3-year-7-month-old, got into the neighbor's garage and ate some of their dog's food. He started whining and panting, which are signs of discomfort. What could be causing this discomfort and what should I do?

My 1-year-old female crossbreed mini pinscher chihuahua, Venus, is sick. Her jaw is locked, she cannot open her mouth, and she has been shaking all over, with erect ears, not wanting to be touched, easily startled, immobile limbs, and heavy salivation. She improved slightly overnight but still cannot eat or drink due to her closed mouth. She tried to open her mouth but seems to be in pain. My nephew bathed her earlier, and she can now slowly move around. We have not yet brought her to a vet due to our remote location. What should we do?
