Millie, a five-year-old Jack Russell, started yelping in pain on Friday. She has been to the vet daily since for pain relief and an MRI scan is being considered. Blood tests are clear. Could this be invertebral disc disease, and how can it be diagnosed?

I have a 70 lb 8-year-old German Shepherd diagnosed with aggressive inflammatory mammary cancer involving lymph nodes and the vascular system. She had surgery to remove her mammary chain 7 weeks ago and has been on prednisone, Tramadol, doxycycline, and various supplements since. Recently, she cracked a molar and lacerated her tongue, causing continuous bleeding. She stopped eating and drinking, but after treatment with Cerena and Pepcid, she ate some baby food. She is not eating again this morning. Does this sound like nausea from cancer or from ingesting blood? Is there anything else I can try to get her through this? Should I withhold liquids to help clotting, or continue with IV fluids?
