My 6-year-old German Shepherd has severe arthritis, a fused spine with spurs, and suddenly became unable to walk. I took him to the vet who gave him steroidal shots and a prescription, but he got worse before finishing the prednisone. What additional treatments or steps can be taken to alleviate his pain and improve his mobility?

I bought a container of store-made brownies with cream cheese. When I came home, I found that half the container had been eaten. I suspect my dogs, Luna (a boxer, 1 year 6 months old) and Daisy (a bichon poodle, 9 years old), might have eaten them. What should I do?

My ten-month-old Queensland Heeler mix has had very loose stools for two days, and I'm concerned he might have eaten mushrooms. He is very active and healthy, but I live in a rural area where mushrooms grow. I've never seen him eat any, but I'm worried about the potential connection. What should I do?

My dog, Fizzy, a 7-year-old, has been vomiting occasionally since last night after eating sand, oil, and a few packing peanuts. She vomited once at 10pm, twice more through the night, and a small bit of green/grassy vomit just now. She has had a loose stool and has been drinking water and chicken stock. She ate a cracker happily and shows no pain or discomfort when pressing her abdomen. What should I do?

My dog walker reported that my dog had an accident in the house (which she has never done before) and had 4 loose bowel movements within a half an hour during her walk outside. I am concerned. The dog has recently been eating goose poop and was also recently treated for a hookworm she had when I rescued her. She is between 1 and 2 years old, a rescue, and ate her breakfast this morning after coaxing, but hasn't been eating her breakfast over the last several days, though she devours her dinner. What could be the issue and what should I do?
