My 11-year-old dog had a splenectomy due to a tumor and now has inoperable tumors in his stomach and fluid in his lungs. He was vomiting and not eating, so the vet put him on prednisone, which stopped the vomiting and got him eating again, but now he has watery diarrhea and is weak. How long can he live like this, and how do I know when it's time to say goodbye?

My son's dog, Melo, a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd weighing 32 pounds, suddenly doesn't want to stand or walk this morning. He was fine yesterday and acted normal. My son heard Melo moan twice during the night. There is no apparent wound. What could be wrong with Melo, and what should we do?

My Border terrier, Jack, has a long-term liver problem and recently showed high calcium levels in his blood tests, despite being on Hepaticare & Destolit for 2 years. He also has symptoms of increased hunger and thirst, and has been diagnosed with Cushing's, which is now being questioned. The current medications are costly but show no improvement. What other options are available for Jack's condition?
