My three dogs, Thumper (5 years old), Bambi (3 years old), and Odin (1 year old), have started coughing after being exposed to a dog diagnosed with kennel cough. All are up to date on their shots. What can I do for them since I cannot get them to a vet until the 15th or later?

My 9-week-old German Shepherd puppy, Apollo, has been vomiting clear liquid with a light brown tint, which is slightly foamy but contains no food. He has vomited about 4 times in the last 3 hours. He has been eating leaves, dirt, and grass, and possibly his poop recently. His stool has been consistently firm and regular. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a two-year-old Australian Shepherd who is fed Nutro chicken dog food with occasional Nutra Thrive. Her stool is unusually small, skinny, soft, and slightly yellow, unlike my older shepherd mix who has healthy stools. Should I have her checked out?

My 12-year-old dog has breast cancer, arthritis, and is on meloxicam. This weekend, she has deteriorated severely, crying and barking, not eating but still drinking. She has had her daily dose of medication. How much more can we give her to ease her pain until we can see the vet tomorrow?

I have a 4 1/2 year old golden retriever named Hooch who started feeling unwell on Tuesday. He hasn't eaten since Tuesday night, but is drinking water. He stands for long periods before laying down and doesn't seem to be in pain. The vet has done blood work, X-rays, and a barium study but found nothing wrong. What could be causing his lack of appetite and what should I do to help him?

My dog, Cricket, a year and a half old, has developed a small knot on her head between her ear and eye within a 30-minute span after playing. She is not acting differently and there is no bleeding. What could this be and what can I do to help it go down?
