My foster dog, Sofie, frequently experiences a reverse sneezing episode that scares her and sometimes leads to coughing and gagging. She has been doing this since I got her, and I initially thought it was due to anxiety, but she is now very relaxed with us. She eats and drinks normally and does not have a fever. What could be causing this reverse sneezing, and is there anything I can do to help her?

My dog, Cookie, a 6-year-old Jack Russell, was diagnosed with kennel cough but hasn't recovered as expected. He has completed a course of Asbrip and Lung Gold, but the cough persists. He's breathing okay, but the cough sounds severe when he clears his throat. We live in a rural area, and our other dog, who shares a bed with Cookie, is not coughing. What should we do next?

My Shih Tzu, Bentley, has swelling beside his anus and is very uncomfortable. He started licking the area a couple of days ago, and the swelling just started yesterday. Bentley is 9.5 years old, not neutered, and was recently groomed. What could be causing this swelling, and what can I do to help him feel more comfortable until I can get him to the vet?

My new puppy, Walter, a 9-week-old miniature labradoodle weighing about 3-4 lbs, chewed on a 400mg Advil gel cap. The capsule was punctured, and he likely swallowed some gel. It has been about 5 minutes since this happened. Should we induce vomiting, and how should we proceed?
