My 12-year-old miniature Yorkie, Lucie, has been vomiting and experiencing diarrhea for the last two days. She doesn't have much of an appetite, and she is the only one of our four dogs who is sick. Could the dog have eaten anything unusual, and is there a cost for the vet's advice?

I have some questions regarding my cat Fonzie's recent check-up and treatment plan: 1. Can I administer subcutaneous fluids in the scruff of the neck using a tiny 23 gauge butterfly needle and a syringe, as I did with my previous cat, or should I follow the Western method of using a drip back and a larger 21 gauge syringe in the flank-hip area? 2. Do you have any resources or recommendations for physical therapy exercises for cats, particularly for improving hind quarter strength and mobility? 3. Are there any independent clinical trials or studies on Elura, a medication potentially being prescribed for Fonzie, other than those sponsored by the company?

My dog, James, who is between 10 and 14 years old, sometimes breathes very hard for a few minutes, almost sounding like a dry heave. This happens periodically, consistently every few days or so. The breathing is usually normal but louder during these episodes. What could be causing this and should we do anything about it?
