Our 14-year-old dog bit my husband in the nose, requiring a tetanus shot and antibiotic. The dog has a history of nipping but never targeting the face.

My 3-month-old Teddy Bear puppy named Jeter won't eat or drink today. Yesterday, he had stomach issues and pooped a lot, but his pee was fine. He's lethargic and has been scratching a lot. He has an appointment tomorrow, but should I call for an emergency visit? He's been lethargic and hasn't vomited since the day he arrived, which we thought was car sickness.

I think my dog has anxiety. He pants heavily, hides between furniture, and stands there for a long time. He also follows us everywhere. Are these signs of anxiety, and what should I do?

My 9-year-old Brittany, Heidi, has a dry cough, is lethargic, and has a suppressed appetite. I suspect it might be valley fever symptoms. She is on heartworm preventative and was recently tested for heartworms. Her gums are a normal color, and she has gained a few pounds recently due to eating a little extra due to a new puppy in the house. This morning, she didn't finish her usual half can of wet food, which is unusual for her.
