Dog chasing wild turkeys
Our Setter (6yo male neutered) chases birds, ground hogs, squirrels, etc. We now have wild turkeys visit on our lawn. The Setter just looks at them. We want him to chase the turkeys away but he is not interested. I think he is afraid. He will chase wild geese. What’s wrong with him?

Lethargic dog who is throwing up
My dog (Golden Retriever cross 1.5 yo male neutered) is drinking a lot of water, not eating and then throwing up later? My dog is normally very active, but lethargic today and doesn’t seem to want to do very much except lie around.

Dog and kennel cough
My dog (2yo male Boxer neutered) was boarded in a kennel for 2 days and has now developed a cough – sort of like a hacking dry cough like he has something stuck in his throat. He had the kennel cough vaccine – I thought he’d be protected from it? Is this life threatening and should I take him into a vet? He seems to be otherwise in good health ie eating, sleeping, running around.
