I received a 15-year-old male lab named Brown Dog. He has trouble getting up but moves well once standing. He drinks a lot of water, has a normal appetite, and is on Hills Health Science food, losing weight slowly. Occasionally, he has a yacking sound with little mucous but nothing comes up. The previous owners said he doesn't travel well. What should I do to manage his weight loss and ensure his comfort?

My 14-week-old French Bulldog, Hugo, is only 3lbs and has a bloated belly. He was the runt of his litter, is not showing signs of sickness, but the vet ran tests to rule out parasites, liver, or kidney problems. What could be causing the bloating, and what should I expect from the test results?

My 9-month-old golden retriever, Lola, has an eye infection that seems to be conjunctivitis. The inner/bottom of her eye is red, and it's not as open as her other eye. She's squinting it shut but not wiping at it. The upper right eyelid is bloodshot compared to the left, and her right eye looks a little hazy. Her pupils are the same size. I've used a warm rag to wipe the outside of her eye but haven't tried rinsing it with water. What should I do?

My 9-year-old lab, Gizmo, has been experiencing rapid panting episodes at night for about a year. She has put on weight, particularly in her belly, and drinks a lot of water. She also has a fear of thunder and loud noises. What could be causing these panting episodes and what should I do about her fear of thunder?
