My dog, Kyra, a 7-year-old Yorkiepoo, suddenly started shaking about 20 minutes ago. She has no history of anxiety, no coughing, limping, or drooling, but has had a slight chest congestion and a snoring sound for several months. What could be causing the shaking, and what should I do?

I recently adopted a 1-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix named Max who has severe separation anxiety. He barks, howls, and scratches the floor whenever left alone in the apartment. I've tried various methods like leaving Kong toys, not making a big deal of leaving or returning, exercising him, and playing relaxing music, but none have been effective. Should I continue with these methods or consider medication, and how long should I try before deciding medication is necessary?

My 12-year-old Labrador mix named Snoop has a bleeding toenail, possibly from stubbing his toe. He has Cushing’s Disease and some mobility issues. The bleeding has been controlled with cornstarch, but I'm concerned about transporting him to a vet due to his weight and mobility. Should I wait until Monday for a mobile vet to come to the house, and what signs of infection should I watch for?
