My dog keeps coughing and it looks like something is in her throat. How do I help her get it out? Also, do I need to deworm my dog, and what is heartworm disease? How much does a heartworm test cost, and can it be fatal?

My dog has developed tremors in the neck and mid to upper spine area. The tremors are intermittent, lasting 3-5 minutes, and are more like deep shivering or shaking. Jody, the dog, doesn't show any signs of trouble walking, lack of coordination, knuckling, or stumbling, and he doesn't seem disoriented. He has intermittent lower back/joint pain, which has been treated with doggie Ibuprofen. What could be causing these tremors and what should I do?

I have an 8-year-old, neutered male border collie named Teddy who has been experiencing episodes that seem post-ictal, characterized by exhaustion and an inability to stand, which resolve within minutes to hours. These episodes do not involve seizures, shaking, or neurological signs. Teddy is still very active and eats normally most of the time. What could be causing these episodes, and what should I do?

My brother has a 9-year-old black lab. His scrotum is enlarged to about the size of 2 small apples and seems to be quite heavy because it stretches the skin and hangs down lower than normal. Is this normal for older dogs or could it be cancer or something?

My 3-year-old Dachshund, Mocha, is throwing up, has very loose stool, is very clingy, very sleepy, and is not eating or drinking. What could be causing this and what can I do to help her?
