My Dog’s Corneal Ulcer Got Worse After Two Days of Eye Drops, with a Darker White Film. Why?
A worsening white film after eye drops may mean the drops don't match the condition, or there is corneal disease, inflammation, lens sclerosis, or cataracts. See a vet if it doesn't improve, and identify the exact cause for targeted treatment.
My Dog Keeps Coughing, Especially When He Gets Old. What Could Be Wrong?

Teacup dogs are a small breed with a delicate digestive system, so owners should choose a food suited to their needs. Check the package for the recommended age and weight range, and pick a formula that is safe for them.

A blocked trachea causes breathing trouble, gasping, coughing and can lead to suffocation or death. Try to remove it with a finger, but if you cannot, rush to a vet who will clear it with proper tools and prevent complications.
Dog has a cluster of something on the left side of its stomach, vomiting and bloody stool; can it heal on its own or need scope removal?
X-rays cannot confirm a foreign body. If a mass is in the stomach, urgent endoscopy with prompt removal gives good recovery odds; a barium study first maps it. Non-passing objects need surgery, while normal eating and stool allow conservative care.
