My Pomeranian, Marcus, has been honking/coughing since yesterday around 10:00am. He can breathe, but the frequency and intensity of the coughing are worsening. Marcus is 5 or 6 years old, and I am babysitting him while his owner is out of the country. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help him?

My 12-year-old dog, Hobo, suddenly started acting lethargic about an hour ago and is not eating treats. She may have eaten something unusual at the park. What should I do and what should I watch for?

I have a one-year-old Shih Tzu named Pudge. His eating habits have become sporadic, and he has intermittent vomiting spells with specks of blood. He also exhibits behaviors like stretching, clawing, and being clingy. Despite being active and gaining weight, he has not improved after completing prescribed medications. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My dog, Luka, a 2 1/2-year-old Dalmatian, has had a persistent cough for a few days, followed by vomiting and diarrhea today. He is now lethargic, shivering, and not eating or drinking. His breathing sounds slightly labored, and his gums are somewhat dry. Should I take him to the emergency room tonight, or can I wait to schedule an in-person visit tomorrow?
