A friend's pitbull puppy, Veruca, has a piece of poop or something hanging out of its behind, and the friend suspects the dog might be constipated due to ingesting hair or another object. The puppy is very hyper, not housebroken, and refuses to go to the bathroom outside. The issue has been going on for about 20 minutes. Should the friend rush to the vet or wait and see if it passes?

My 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Jordie, has trouble walking, especially in his hind legs, and is completely lame. He had ACL surgery in February 2020 but never fully recovered. He has been on various anti-inflammatories and pain medications, had laser therapy, but now the vets are not providing clear answers. I do not want to subject him to more surgery and am looking for ways to improve his quality of life. What can be done to help Jordie?

My dog, Tesla, a 4-year-old female Akita weighing about 55 pounds, has had a persistent cough for 2 months, accompanied by bad breath and occasional white sputum. She was prescribed doxycycline by the vet, but it didn't help. Heartworm was negative. I also have two other dogs who occasionally cough. What should I do next?

My 9-year-old Yorkie Poo, Max, is a rescue dog with fear aggression. He often bites and growls when surprised or when I try to touch him, especially if I come from behind. He also seems to favor one of his back legs. What can be done to address his behavior and leg issue?
