I have a 15-year-old male Papillon named Gizmo. He has diminished hearing, sleeps most of the day, and recently started coughing when picked up at night. His vet found an irregular heartbeat and did not clean his teeth. Gizmo also urinates in his crate at night, requiring frequent baths. Is there a connection between these issues, and is there medication to help with the nighttime urination?

Does the anti-inflammatory medication Previcox cause difficulties in breathing and excessive salivating in dogs? My dog, Boulie, has been experiencing loud breathing sounds, a whistling noise from the nose, difficulty completing yawns, and nonstop salivating. He is walking well, has a good appetite, and his stool is normal. What could these other symptoms indicate?

When I apply Simple Guard3, my Cocker Spaniel, Buddy, goes nuts for a couple of hours, trying to 'get it off his back' by rubbing on furniture and rugs. Is it burning him, and what other flea/tick prevention options are there for him since he won't take oral applications?

My dog has red underneath his eyes around the socket, especially on the side of his right eye, with some yellow discharge. Is this common, and what should I do to treat it?

My dog, Bentley, a 5-year-old Beagle Collie mix, ate some raw baby ribs last night that I left out to defrost. He is currently sleeping but seems to be breathing a little heavy. What should I do?

My 13-year-old Yorkie suffers from colitis. She has had antibiotics and her stool sample showed nothing. The vet recommended Royal Canine Sensitivity, but she refuses to eat it and will go without food rather than eat it. I've tried fish and rice, and chicken and rice, but she still has episodes of very loose stool. What food can I give her?
