Our dog, Jasper, has a sore near his nose that we noticed yesterday. He didn't eat his dinner last night but otherwise doesn't seem bothered by it. We're concerned about what to do until our vet is open. What should we do and what should we watch for?

My dog, Midnight, a 2-year-old, has been periodically coughing and gagging since this afternoon. I initially thought he was choking on something, but I don't see anything. He can eat, drink, and is breathing okay. What could be causing this and what should I do?

One of our 7-month-old puppies, weighing around 45-50 pounds, may have eaten a peach pit. The pit is about 1 inch by 1.25 inches and 5/8 inch thick. The puppy is not showing any abnormal behavior, but we are concerned about potential dangers. Should we induce vomiting or wait and monitor the situation?

My 4-month-old dog, Levee, has red bumps all along his belly. I first noticed them about a week ago, and he hasn't been licking or rubbing the skin more than usual. It looks slightly like pyoderma. What could this be and what should I do?

What should I do if my 8-week-old dog licked a small amount of methamphetamine about 15 hours ago, and is now acting strangely, being unusually restless and scared?

My 7-year-old Brussels Griffin, Cosmo, has had bile-yellow colored liquid diarrhea for the past 24 hours and has been vomiting bright yellow bile for the last 12 hours. He hasn't eaten much in the past two days and is very lethargic, though he can still walk and go outside. His gums are lighter than usual, but his belly is not painful. He lives near a lake but has not been seen drinking from it. He was at a dog sitter until Thursday evening, and all other dogs there are fine. What could be causing this and what should I do?
