I have a three-month-old puppy who has had diarrhea for about a month, including blood in his stool. He was treated for tapeworms with a shot, which temporarily improved his condition, but the diarrhea returned.

My dog was diagnosed with a sarcoma after surgery for a growth and its biopsy. However, a follow-up with blood test, aspiration of lymph cells, and chest x-ray showed no metastasis. The oncologist veterinarian is recommending radiation therapy. My boxer is eight years old. The dog has no pain or any other symptom. Do you think that radiation therapy can do any good?

I have a 2 1/2 year old black lab who started itching a lot in late summer/fall. The vet diagnosed allergies and prescribed prednisone, but the itching persists despite the treatment. My dog is also biting his legs and not eating well. What can be done to alleviate his symptoms?

My dog, a Jack Russell mix, has been lethargic and sleeping all day long. He acts like he is too tired and weak to even get up. He ate a sub sandwich with onions two days ago, but no vomiting or diarrhea. His gum color is pink, and he is eating normally. What could be causing his lethargy and what should I do?
