My 8-year-old ridgeback got into the trash and started showing symptoms of discomfort, including whimpering, shaking, ears back, tail between legs, and refusing to eat. Two weeks ago, he had similar symptoms after getting into the trash, and the vet diagnosed it as back pain, prescribing Tylenol and muscle relaxants. We started the same medication regimen this morning. What could be causing his discomfort, and should we be concerned about his back pain recurring?

I have a 12-year-old dog named Mini Snoozer who has been on prednisone pain pills and muscle relaxers for a back injury. Suddenly, she stopped eating, drinking, and moving, became dehydrated, and her protein count is down. Her lungs have fluid, and her heart rate is elevated. The vet did blood work and pulled fluid from her lung but found nothing. What could be the issue?

My older dog has suddenly become almost immobile. She pulls her bottom under her and won't pee, drink, or eat. She has arthritis and it has gotten a lot colder. Is this just really bad arthritis?

I have a 6-year-old bunny who is not standing, her head is turning to the side, and she is breathing heavier than usual. She has not been out of the cage in a few days, and it seems she might have broken her back due to the way her hind leg is not under her as usual. What could be wrong with her, and what can I do for her?

My Chihuahua was seriously attacked by a coyote and underwent emergency surgery for a tracheotomy. During surgery, extensive nerve and muscle damage to his throat and neck area was discovered. The vet suggested euthanasia due to poor quality of life. I'm seeking a second opinion. Can you provide any information or insight?
