My dog, Chewie, a 5-year-old Toy Poodle weighing 5 lbs, was hacking and heaving on Saturday. I gave him pumpkin, which stopped the hacking and heaving, but he is not barking like usual. He is eating treats and had a rabies shot last month. He was also put on Nexgard and is due for another dose now. What could be causing his unusual behavior, and what should I be aware of?

My 7-year-old Pitt Bull, Ruby, is experiencing severe gas, stomach bloating, bad breath that smells like her farts, dry skin, hair loss, knots under her skin, flea infestation, and limping on her back right side. I have no money for a vet. What can I do to help her, and are there any symptoms of heartworm I should be aware of?

My dog, Homer, who is about 7 or 8 years old, had a possible fight on Wednesday night with slight wounds that were damp around the hair. Now, he is experiencing substantial swelling and tenderness around his shoulder and under his neck, which has increased today. Does he need to go to the emergency vet now, or can I wait until tomorrow to see his regular vet?

My dog got into some chicken jerky for dogs and has been throwing up a lot, acting weak and lethargic, with occasional blood in his vomit and red in his stool. We've given him subcutaneous fluids today. Should we take him to the vet, or keep monitoring him?
