My Shih Tzu, Rex, is vomiting white foam. He is 10 years old and has been eating the same food. There are no pre-existing medical conditions, and he started vomiting tonight. He is feeling better and running around happily. Is he hacking and gagging, and what should I do?

My dog, Blu, a 16-month-old weighing approximately 115 lbs, has swollen eyelids and is itching his face. We gave him 4 Benadryl at 8:45 pm. What should we do next, and what symptoms should we watch for if the condition worsens?

Jake, a 130-pound Great Pyrenees (9 years old), had TPLO surgery for a torn cranial cruciate ligament a couple of months ago. He is still limping but improving. He is currently on gabapentin 400 mg twice daily and was previously on Deramaxx. He has now started limping on his foreleg, and his 'wrist' joint appears more swollen on the side he is limping. Should I resume giving him Deramaxx to minimize discomfort?

My dog is shaking uncontrollably, has dark spots similar to a scabbed over rash on her stomach, a pimple-like bump near her neck, and has pain around her neck, making it hard for her to jump or go down stairs. She also yelped when touched on the back of her neck. What could this be, and is it recommended that I go to the vet or is there something I can do for her at home?

My 7-month-old puppy, Elton, who weighs 60-65 pounds, may have eaten an Advil. We don't know if or how many he ate. What are the signs of poisoning, and what should I do?
