My 14-15-year-old overweight Chihuahua mix, Ace, is having difficulty breathing, salivating, panting, not eating, and vomited this morning. He is also lame on his hind quarters and has lost the ability to walk. He has been on Meloxicam for a week and recently vomited after eating ham. His breathing is rapid, especially when resting or sleeping, and he has intervals of fast and slow breathing throughout the day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what immediate steps should I take?

My Javanese dog, named Gus, has bronchitis for the second time this year. He was treated with prednisone and an antibiotic in April, which worked, but the condition has returned, and he is coughing badly. I can only get an appointment in three weeks. What can I do in the meantime to help him?

I need antibiotics for bite wounds on my two dogs, Max and Harley, who are 5.5 years old. They had a fight today, and I cleaned the wounds and applied Neosporin. There is little swelling but no bleeding. Is there anything else the vet should know before I connect?

My dog, Duke, a 4-year-old Yorkie and Chihuahua mix, is pooping red blood along with stool. He had a dental treat yesterday evening, which he might have swallowed whole. He seems fine otherwise, but I'm concerned. What should I do?

My dog, Huckleberry, a 3-year-old German Shepherd, has stopped eating, seems dizzy, and is very lethargic. He has missed four meals over two days, is drinking a lot of water, and has shown signs of weakness and stumbling when getting up. There have been no signs of pain, bloating, vomiting, or diarrhea, but his urine appears dark. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
