Dog coughs, sneezes, eats favorites; unsure pneumonia or bronchitis.
Suspected pneumonia needs a vet: temp, lung sounds, X-ray, maybe lavage. Pneumonia is acute/chronic inflammation of lung and bronchi, so they co-occur; your X-ray suggests white lung and heart enlargement - ask the doctor, do an echo to rule out heart disease.

Newborn puppy (two days) is purple-black all over – what is this?

My hamster has back hair loss and it’s always wet – why?
A dripping water bottle can wet the back, causing bacterial/fungal/eczema skin disease and hair loss; change the bottle and get a skin test. Seasonal shedding from temperature regulation is also possible.
Why does my cat keep squatting like a brooding hen?
Not always illness; analyze with eating, energy, temperature, breathing, pain. FIP causes it with fever, fluid, no appetite; pancreatitis causes abdominal pain; acute gastroenteritis; kidney/stone/blockage also. See a vet if energy/appetite are off.
How can I tell if my cat has a fever?

After about an hour outside, my cat kept sticking out its tongue and trembling. What’s going on?
Tongue out and trembling after going out is usually heat, nervousness, or stress; rarely heart issues. Calm cats are timid and stress easily, showing panting and shaking that passes with rest. If hot, cool it down to avoid heatstroke.
