Our 7-year-old dog, Lucky, has been coughing/gagging frequently for a few months. We've tried antibiotics and steroids, but they haven't worked.

My 6-month-old mini poodle, Beau, is wobbling, barely able to stand, lethargic, and has lost his usual energetic personality. He threw up thick bile but has not eaten or drunk water since. He was neutered on March 9th, and his incision area looks fine. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?

My dog gave birth to 5 puppies, but had to undergo a c-section for the 5th puppy. She developed a fever of 104.6°F and was found to be anemic. Is it common for dogs to be anemic after giving birth? Is a fever of 104.6°F a concern for a nursing dog post-c-section? Can an ultrasound identify internal bleeding effectively? Does the situation I described sound usual and okay?

Our dog, Ace, a 10-month-old, 73-pound dog, has been shaking his head and scratching it due to an ear infection diagnosed at Petco. The infection has been ongoing for a week, and when I cleaned his ear, it had dark red stuff. What should we do until we can see a vet on Wednesday?

My dog, Sigy, a 30lbs Husky of almost six months, swallowed a Cadbury egg whole ten minutes ago and hasn't vomited since. Is this a cause for concern and what should I do?

My dog, Shuffles, a 13-year-old poodle mix weighing about 14 pounds, has been experiencing worsening arthritis over the past 6 months, making it difficult for him to get up and down from couches. I haven't spoken to a vet yet as his previous vet retired, and I haven't found a new one. What can I do to help alleviate his joint pain?
