My pet, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu weighing approximately 10 pounds, has a body temperature of 105°F. Can this wait until morning to take her to the vet, or should I seek emergency care at this hour?

One of my mixed breed dogs from the shelter, Coco, is showing signs of sickness including slow panting, lethargy, weight loss, and abnormal stool. My sister suspects it could be heatstroke or a reaction to wasp stings. What should I do?

Shilo, a 4-year-old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix, hasn't eaten all day, has been lethargic, and had diarrhea mixed with solid feces and a small amount of blood. She recently changed her food from Pedigree to Blue Buffalo all natural. What could be causing these issues and what advice can you provide?

My 4-year-old Chihuahua is breathing fast even at rest and has a hacking cough similar to a cat bringing up a fur ball. He has never had these symptoms before, and his brother died at age 2 with similar symptoms. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 5-year-old dog had an emergency operation for pyometra 9 days ago and was critical for 4 days after that. Since coming home, she seems well and happy, but occasionally pants heavily for about 5 minutes and drinks a lot of water. She is still on twice-daily antibiotics. Is the panting and increased water consumption normal during recovery, or should I have the vet check her again? She's due for a vet visit and check-up in one week.
