We have a 11-year-old chihuahua. We put him in his crate at night and notice his blanket is damp/wet in the morning. It doesn't smell like pee but has a weird smell and is very damp all over, similar to human night sweats. Could this be night sweats in a dog and why would a dog sweat like that?

Our 1-year-old Labrador has been down the beach and appears to have swallowed a lot of water. For the past 4 hours, he has been very lethargic and uninterested in food and water. This is very uncharacteristic for him. What should we do?

We may have given my 12-year-old beagle (26 lbs) a second dose of simplicef, 12 hours apart. He doesn't seem to be having any adverse effects. What should we be concerned about or look for if he reacts poorly? He just had knee and bladder surgery.

My dog yelps every time his snout (nose or front of teeth) are bumped. I see no swelling. Gums look more red than usual around the top front teeth. Though he does not yelp if I put my finger in his mouth and press around that area. What could be causing this pain?

My dog is very sluggish, has thrown up after eating, had diarrhea several times last night, has a hard stomach, looks sick, won't run outside, and is 4 1/2 years old. She started showing symptoms yesterday and often eats toilet paper, which she has not yet pooped out. What could be wrong and what should I do?
