I have a 2-year-old golden retriever who is having difficulty standing up and appears to be overweight, despite being fed only 2 cups of food in the morning and 2 in the evening, with no human food. What could be causing this issue?

I adopted a Shorkie puppy for $350. The breeder gave me the puppy at 6 weeks old, provided the necessary shots, and advised me not to take the puppy to the vet until he was 4 months old. I trusted her as she mentioned her father was also a breeder. Three weeks later, the puppy died in my arms due to illness. I feel immense guilt for not taking him to a vet sooner, but I trusted the breeder's advice. Now, I live in a high-rise apartment and would like to adopt another lap dog, preferably small and potty-pad trained, and take the puppy outdoors during spring and summer. I am on disability, home 24/7, and would give the puppy unconditional love. I am heartbroken and alone, missing my previous puppy dearly. However, small dogs are expensive, and I saved for 2 months just to get my previous puppy. If I could adopt a puppy in need, it would be the best Christmas gift. Please advise, I am desperate.

I have a 14-year-old Pomeranian. She had all her upper teeth removed but still has an infection in the bone. Her vet wants to put her on antibiotics for 6 months. She is also going in today for a second dental vaccine and this antibiotic. I was wondering if there is a natural antibiotic I can give her instead of the antibiotic. She has taken colloidal silver in the past as well as other supplements and is on an organic dog food diet.

I have two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, one male and one female. I am on benefits and cannot afford to get them both spayed. Can I get help with this, and if so, how much help can I get? I cannot have them living with me anymore otherwise, as they are driving me crazy.
