Our 3-month-old rescue puppy has Giardia and is on medication. He recently started coughing and his breath smells foul. Could this be related to the medicine, or is there another issue? We are first-time dog owners and concerned.

My 6-month-old golden retriever, Stella, had an intestinal intussusception operation 3 weeks ago. I've changed her diet to a raw diet (goat) combined with chicken and rice, transitioning over a week. She is now mostly on goat and is having runny stools. Should I continue with this diet?

Hi Dr. Paul, you wanted me to follow up with you today and let you know how Prince is doing. His condition has improved, but he is still coughing. He seems to be breathing better and has more energy. He’s eating snacks but no real food, and his water intake has increased. He had a bowel movement this morning but none yesterday. I am still concerned. Do I continue to treat him, and if so, how long before his cough is gone, or do I take him to the vet to get checked out?

My dog, Seraphina, has primary lung cancer that affects her entire left lung and is inoperable. Her coughing has worsened. Is there anything I can do to provide her relief from the cough?

We have a standard poodle named Fergus, who is 7 years old and suffers from food and environmental allergies. Last night, he was awake, walking around the bedroom, and his face, ears, and body were very hot. This morning, after a tea tree bath, he seemed okay but later became restless, hot, itchy, and vomited. I'm worried about him. Should he go to the vet?

My dog, a 2-year-old Yorkshire Terrier weighing 6 pounds, bit a Combat brand roach bait trap and has since vomited, not eaten, had diarrhea, and passed smelly gas. I'm unsure if this is due to an upset stomach or the roach trap. What should I do?
