My Great Pyrenees mix has a resting respiratory rate of over 80 consistently for 48 hours. All her blood work and chest X-rays came back normal. Is there something that would not show up on these tests that could be causing this? She has not eaten anything abnormal or gotten into anything poisonous, and has had bouts of fast breathing at rest before but never continual.

My dog, Slate, a 7-year-old Chihuahua mix, has red and puffy eyes, seems to be rubbing them often with his front paw, and is also licking his front leg. His fur under the eye seemed weepy/wet yesterday, and today his eyes appear more puffy. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-month-old dog, Penny, has been having a hard time peeing for about 4 days. Her urine smells worse than usual and comes out in spurts instead of a stream. She also seems a little more tired than usual. There is no blood in her urine, and she has no known pre-existing medical conditions. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My 8-month-old puppy, Gingi, a fox terrier mix weighing 25-30 lbs, swallowed a small piece of the root of a hosta plant about 30 minutes ago. She has shown no symptoms yet and is acting normally. What should I do, and is there any potential danger from her ingesting this plant material?

My dog, Sunshine, has a swollen ear canal on the left side. She was shaking her head and scratching a lot before the swelling was noticed. She recently ran through a large puddle from snow melt. There was some discharge and odor from the ear initially, but now the canal is hard and round. What could be causing this and what should I do to treat it?
