My dog, Cleo, is having difficulty with her hips and can't stand up. She went to the groomer yesterday and this morning she cried and won't get up for her breakfast. Cleo is 11 years old and has no outstanding diseases. Can I give her an enteric coated aspirin?

We have a young female dog in our rescue who was surrendered after re-injuring her ACL post-surgery. The vet suggests repairing both rear ACLs at the same time. I have concerns about the recovery aspect of her ordeal with both knees being fixed simultaneously and am looking for input. She is otherwise a healthy dog.

My 4-year-old border collie, Sam, has an unwillingness to jump up on the bed or couch. He walks and runs fine, eats and drinks normally, and has no issues with bathroom habits. He seems happy but won't jump up. Sometimes he will jump up and put his paws on my shoulders for a hug but won't do that either. I'm wondering if he might have a strained muscle or pinched nerve. I have checked his feet and there are no visible wounds. When I check his back legs, feet, and lower back, he doesn't shy away or cry in pain. What could be the issue and what can I do in the meantime?
