My Chihuahua mix seems to gasp for air all of a sudden. Sometimes he vomits what he ate before having these attacks.

Whenever this happens his ribs are very noticible.
Is this normal?
Pls. someone help.

For the past few months I've realized more and more of an increased thirst, increased appetite (i eat a ton but don't gain anything), extreme fatigue and dizziness, increased need to urinate, slight tingling in my hands which go away after a few minutes, throwing up after meals unintentionally, and very strange sensations where I feel like I'm going to pass out and start to hyperventilate after I eat certain foods. I went to the doctor with my mom and got an AC1 glucose test done and the first one said 7.2 so she took me to a different doctor and it was significantly lower so my mom decided that was the end of the testing. My grandma and Uncle both have had it, but those are the only two in my family. I know I'm probably just being a hypochondriac but a) Is it possible I may have it (don't want to waste time or money on tests if not lol) and b) could these tests be wrong? and which are the most accurate in diagnosing?

Is it possible that genital herpes could of come from a long ago partner as theres been no problems as such, or would it have to be a recent thing for it to show for the first time?.

I have been getting these pimples on my chest that i can't get rid of. They are pimples but i would describe them as the size of a blister (sometimes bigger) and they form like a big bump. when i squeeze them they get all red and form a scab. it is not very attractive. i have been washing my chest everyday with face wash but havent noticed any improvements. is there a stronger type of wash that i can use? any suggestions of what to do? i would love it if i could find a face wash that just clears it all away. i'm 19 and have never had a problem with pimples before (none on my face) but the last two months i've had these chest pimples and it sucks.

I know for a fact that we need an aide to stay with my father until my mother gets back home,my brother thought of this but never followed through and hes leaving it all up to me.I find this a very exasperating chore because Ive never done this in my life! no matter who iI tell this to,I get hell.
