I have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever who has undergone two major surgeries for severe urinary incontinence and recently had a TPLO surgery. The incontinence has returned, causing her bladder to empty completely when she sleeps, and she is distressed. I have previously stated to my vet that I would not put her through another operation. She used to enjoy lying in the garden but now goes straight back to her bed. Am I being unfair to her by considering euthanasia?

My dog, Milo, was in a dog fight and is now coughing and gagging. He has been doing this for about 45 minutes and seems to be breathing okay. He is 13 months old and weighs about 125lbs. He has no visible neck wounds. Should I take him to a vet?

Our 2-year-old mixed breed dog, Tucker, took a 16 mg pill of Apoquel at 5 pm today and started showing signs of panting, dilated pupils, pacing, and difficulty walking, similar to hallucinations. He also had two vaccines today (DA2P4L and Borrelia) and some supplements (100 mg turmeric, 3 drops sunflower oil, 3 drops primrose oil, and fish oil). What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?

My 1.5-year-old English Bulldog, Tank, is limping with no obvious injury to his paw. He started limping this morning, is not putting any weight on his left back leg, and is holding it completely off the ground. He does not whimper or pull away when we attempt to examine it, and he is still eating and drinking normally. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Bertha, age 8, has a big swollen bump on her paw that I just noticed. I'm not sure if it needs immediate attention or if it can wait until tomorrow. What should I do?

How much does it cost to have a pet put to sleep, and what pain relief can be administered for a 15-year-old Chihuahua that was hit by a car and can't move its back legs?
