My 1-year-old mixed breed dog (half Shih Tzu, half Chihuahua) is congested, has reverse sneezing, snores, and is eating very little. He has always had allergies and is currently drowsy but still plays. What should I look for to determine if his condition is serious, and is his congestion likely due to normal allergies?

My dog, Sam, who weighs 80lbs and is 1 year 10 months old, ate 2 Sambucol capsules containing vitamin C, zinc, and black elderberry juice extract. Will he be okay? What are the next steps?

My 1-year-old Chihuahua, Elly, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting today. She had solid poop followed by liquid poop, vomited undigested and digested food, and her last bowel movement was mostly air with a small amount of liquid. She is acting normally otherwise, drinking water, and her gums are light pink. Should I withhold food or offer a bland diet like white rice and boiled chicken? I also have anti-inflammatory and anti-vomiting medication from another dog, is it safe to give these to Elly?

My dog, Michael, has had red sores all over his back and under his legs for about 5 or 6 weeks. The sores scab up and fall off, but new ones appear. He was on prednisone for 8 days, which helped initially, but the condition worsened after stopping the medication. Our local vet in Mexico recommended Apoquel, but after 10 days, it hasn't improved. What could be causing this and what should we do?
