My dog, Zorro, a 7-year-old pug cross beagle, has been breathing very fast and panting occasionally since this afternoon. He is not coughing but is gagging. He is lying down a lot and burying himself under blankets, with his head and neck out to the front. His gums are pink, and he has no known medical problems or medications. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My dog, Bailey, age 5, started urinating blood yesterday. She seems more tired than usual, is not eating much, and the blood is actually dripping from her rather than being in her urine. She recently moved to a new environment as an emotional support dog. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Rosie, a golden retriever around 6 or 7 years old, hasn’t been eating, is breathing fast with wheezing, has swollen lymph nodes, and a high temperature of 103°F. She’s lethargic, not playing with our other dog, and seems to have difficulty swallowing. What could be wrong, and what should I do?

My 100 lb. Mastiff, Cherry, ate an unknown quantity of Dronabinol (synthetic THC) 5mg pills. She initially vomited shortly after ingestion but now, 3-4 hours later, she is unable to fully stand and has difficulty walking straight. She is responsive but drowsy and jumpy with stimulation. What should I do to help her, and does she need an ER visit?

My 4-month-old puppy, Blaze, is hardly eating, vomiting on new foods, looks weak and skinny, has low energy, and slow breathing. What could be the issue and what should I check?
