My 13-year-old male beagle mix dog has a 2mm urolith in his urinary bladder, a pH of 7.5, and 2-3 struvite crystals. He had a urinalysis and a urine culture that showed no infection or blood. However, he sometimes shows signs of pain. Additionally, an ultrasound revealed a nodule in his left adrenal gland. What treatment options and management strategies would you recommend for his bladder stone and adrenal nodule?

I found a stray dog and have taken her into my home with the goal of finding her a permanent home. She has nasty smelling feces, drinks a lot of water, and is not trained. My own dog is getting confused when I give commands to the new dog. What amount of water should an almost 1-year-old dog drink, and how can I stop the confusion for my dog when giving commands to the new dog?

I have a 9-year-old Maltese. She was fine the day before, but now she is struggling to walk, especially with her right front leg, and often falls to her right side. I am concerned about a possible spinal injury or nerve damage. How can I observe her at home, and what should I look for to determine the cause of her condition?
