I have a 6-year-old Boston Terrier with a sore shoulder from being picked up too much by the arm pits. He yaps when he exerts too much pressure on it. Will baby aspirin help and how much? Should I make him swallow it like a vet would or should I put it in a ball of dog food?

My 5-year-old Maltese had diarrhea and was taken to the vet. The vet found a small amount of protein in his urine, which they said is not a concern but something to watch. They also prescribed a probiotic paste called ProGut Oral Paste. What does the protein in the urine indicate, and what is the ProGut Oral Paste for?

Our 5-month-old dog has been very slow and drooling excessively today, which is unusual. We believe she may have eaten something harmful outside but are unsure. What should we do?

My dog keeps coughing and it looks like something is in her throat. How do I help her get it out? Also, do I need to deworm my dog, and what is heartworm disease? How much does a heartworm test cost, and can it be fatal?

My dog has developed tremors in the neck and mid to upper spine area. The tremors are intermittent, lasting 3-5 minutes, and are more like deep shivering or shaking. Jody, the dog, doesn't show any signs of trouble walking, lack of coordination, knuckling, or stumbling, and he doesn't seem disoriented. He has intermittent lower back/joint pain, which has been treated with doggie Ibuprofen. What could be causing these tremors and what should I do?

I have an 8-year-old, neutered male border collie named Teddy who has been experiencing episodes that seem post-ictal, characterized by exhaustion and an inability to stand, which resolve within minutes to hours. These episodes do not involve seizures, shaking, or neurological signs. Teddy is still very active and eats normally most of the time. What could be causing these episodes, and what should I do?
