I have a 5-month-old Yorkie named Garrnet. His penis doesn't retract all the way, and his sheath looks folded in. I had to have him put under once when his penis didn't retract at all, and the vet said to wait until he is a year old before considering surgery. What can be done in the meantime to manage this issue?

My Chihuahua-Corgi mix, Nubeez, is struggling to raise her hind legs to get up a step. She is 7 years old and has had similar issues before. I gave her Gabapentin 100mg along with some Xanax, but I'm out of Prednisone. Gabapentin seems to help a bit. Can I give her more than 2 Gabapentin a day? I won't be able to see my regular vet until Tuesday. Is there anything else I should know about her condition?

My dog, Bella, who is 8 years old and weighs 120 lbs, came home from the hospital with a 2 x 2.5 cm brain tumor. She is currently on 20 mg of prednisone twice a day and is panting uncontrollably. How much can I give her for the swelling around the tumor?

My 12-year-old German Shepherd mix, Eve, started an antibiotic on Friday for a UTI. Since then, she has stopped eating completely. She had surgery 12 days ago to remove a mass from her shoulder. What could be causing her loss of appetite and what should I do?

Hi...I have a 9 year old Shi-Tzu who suffers terribly from dermatitis and a heavy build-up of fungus mostly on his back. Underneath all the gook are little red sores. I keep telling the vets here in TEXAS it is staph that he was born with as I have had him since he was spoon fed and when he was a puppy we lived in St. LOUIS NO. and all the vets there agreed it was staph and that he would have FLARE ups all through out his life. These vets here in TEXAS are saying he has developed a fungal infection due to all the steroid shots over the years...he scratched himself raw. And I take him on 3 hour trips to a much more humid environment about every 4 to 6 weeks so he can come with me as the vet says he has some anxiety. He is on zrytec for excessive scratching..., rye drops for white thick discharge coming out of his eyes, and he has a little arthritis in his left hind leg....we just got back from humid San Antonio to west Texas where we live in San Angelo Texas and I have noticed that he shaking upon breathing in.....he has never done this before...i have given him his , his pain meds, held him to try an calm him....the white gook in his eyes is so bad his eyes are swelling shut....and I don't know what to do?

I have a 13-year-old Golden Retriever named Lincoln who is currently on Rimadyl 75 mg twice daily and Furosemide 20 mg twice daily. He has issues with his hips and front paws. I would like to switch him from Rimadyl to CBD for dogs. What should I consider before making this change?
