I have two large dogs, a 4-year-old black labradine named Moose and a 10-month-old black mouth cur named Penelope. I'm driving from East Texas to Phoenix, Arizona, a trip that will take roughly 18 to 22 hours. I need to ensure they are comfortable and possibly sedated for most of the trip. Moose is on prednisone for allergies. How can I prepare them for this long journey and where can I get the necessary health certificates and sedatives?

My 10-year-old Yorkie, Nikki, has had diarrhea for 6 days, decreased appetite, and intermittent vomiting for 2-3 days, but not recently. She has spurts of energy but no apparent pain. We have withheld food for 15 hours and then fed her boiled chicken breast and brown rice. What should we do next?

I have a 14-year-old terrier mix named Hobbs. He was fine and playful this morning, but this afternoon, he is walking very slowly, seems to be in pain, and is hiding under the bed. His hind leg is shaking, and he had a small fall yesterday. I have some expired Metacam, but I don't know the correct dose to give him. What could be causing his discomfort, and what should I do to help him?

My dog, Izzy, a 12-year-old Chihuahua mix, has been experiencing symptoms of tracheal collapse for over a year, which come and go. Recently, she had a coughing fit where her tongue turned blue but returned to normal. Her nose also runs frequently. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
