My 9-year-old German Shepherd, Bella, suddenly became lethargic and then started losing control of her back legs. She still eats but has to be given canned food. She was initially thought to have a slipped disc or nerve damage, but no tests were done. She was given antibiotics for a presumed UTI, and later a steroid shot, but her condition fluctuates. She sometimes has labored breathing and her foot is turning under when walking. What could be causing her symptoms and what tests should be recommended?

My dog is not drinking water, has a slight cough when eating, is fighting yeast infections on her paws and in her private area, and has been behind on her shots. She has also been eating a chicken-based diet and has some itchy and bumpy skin in some places. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My dog, Spot, a 9-year-old Boston Terrier, had a benign mass removed from her lower abdomen on August 12. Since then, she has been vomiting, unable to keep food down, and has developed bloody mucus diarrhea. Despite multiple visits to the vet and over $2000 spent on diagnostics, no cause has been found. She has always been very healthy, and I am very worried. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further steps can be taken?

My dog, Macy, ate a snake plant while I was away. She seems normal, but her water bowl was drained and there was a toy piece she also ate in the water bowl. What should I do?
