My 11-year-old dog has an abdominal growth filling 90% of her abdominal cavity, and she is not a surgical candidate. We've been maintaining frequent small feedings to keep her blood sugar high, and she hasn't had any subsequent seizures. What should I expect, and what should I do if she has another seizure? How do I monitor her condition without causing her unnecessary suffering or acting prematurely?

My 6-year-old overweight male puggle, weighing 49 lbs, is having rear leg problems, struggling to jump onto the couch or into a car, but can jump down fine. He walks okay on flat ground but has trouble with stairs and raises his rear leg when standing. He seems to have a small bulge in the leg muscle area on his favored leg. What could be causing these issues and what tests should be performed?

My puppy ate a large portion of a towel, had bad breath smelling strongly of feces, and vomited up the towel. Now, she is no longer vomiting but still has bad breath. Should I be concerned about a potential blockage, and what could be causing the bad breath?
