My 13-year-old Husky/Great Pyrenees mix is throwing up and getting thinner, especially on the days I am not with her. She has been very stressed due to my husband's Alzheimer's and recent move to a Veteran's Home. She has several fatty lumps that have been checked recently, but I do not want her put under anesthesia to remove them. She still enjoys walks and car rides but has an on-and-off appetite. I am concerned about cancer or liver problems. Should I give her Centrine for a few days, and should I worm her now or wait?

My vet recommends surgery for my dog's anal glands, which need to be expressed every 3 to 4 weeks. I am concerned about potential complications, especially incontinence. Is this frequency usual, or should I consider surgery?

My 3-year-old Olde English Bulldogge has had diarrhea for a week. Immodium was given for a couple of days and saw improvement, but if I take her off Immodium, the diarrhea returns. She has been on a ground beef/rice diet and has had no accidents. Her behavior is playful and unchanged. Recently changed her food from chicken to turkey under the same brand (Natural Choice). What could be causing the diarrhea and what can I do to help her?

Our dog was put on Soloxine 3 weeks ago to improve a thyroid condition. Since then, the dog has gained 16.5 lbs, going from 106.8 to over 122lbs. The dog is a Bernese Mountain Dog and has been fairly stable weight-wise until late November. Blood panels show the only abnormality is protein levels at the lower range. The thyroid is now over 2 and the weight gain does not appear to be slowing. The dog has been put on a low dose of a diuretic. What could be causing the excessive weight gain, and what should we do?
