I have a 13-year-old Dachshund named Ginger who started having trouble walking last week. She was given a baby aspirin and 5mg of Prednisone, which seemed to help initially. However, she is now unable to walk and has not urinated this evening. My vet recommended a myelogram, but the cost is prohibitive. Would giving her Prednisone again help, and is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

My dog, Cleo, is having difficulty with her hips and can't stand up. She went to the groomer yesterday and this morning she cried and won't get up for her breakfast. Cleo is 11 years old and has no outstanding diseases. Can I give her an enteric coated aspirin?

We have a young female dog in our rescue who was surrendered after re-injuring her ACL post-surgery. The vet suggests repairing both rear ACLs at the same time. I have concerns about the recovery aspect of her ordeal with both knees being fixed simultaneously and am looking for input. She is otherwise a healthy dog.
