My 11-year-old dog, Tinkerbell, has been experiencing front right paw knuckling, leg trembling, a bad limp, and back feet dragging. She often licks her paw and has a hard time transitioning from lying to standing. Her foot is also frequently curled, and she trembles often. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I have a 12.5-year-old poodle named Rigby with stage 3 renal failure. He is on a renal diet with some home-cooked chicken, rice, and vegetables, but he has become increasingly picky and refuses to eat. He is otherwise active and happy, with good urine output and thirst, but has elevated creatinine and mildly elevated BUN. He is not on subcutaneous fluids and is only on vitamins, probiotics, calcium, and a phosphorus binder. What suggestions do you have to improve his appetite and manage his condition?

I need a pet passport for my dog to fly internationally to Germany. I found out that the dog needs to be microchipped first and then get a rabies shot, with a 21-day wait period before travel. However, my dog's vet did the rabies shot first and the microchip later. Will this be a problem?

My dog, Poppie, a 4-year-old Cocker Spaniel, started reverse sneezing after eating weeds/grasses at the park. The reverse sneezing has been off and on all day, and allergy medications like Benadryl provide temporary relief. Poppie has a history of allergies and bacterial plaques but rarely experiences reverse sneezing. Her appetite, bathroom habits, and energy levels are normal. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My Yorkie, Peanut, who is a little over 2 years old and weighs approximately 15 lbs, ate about 2 grapes on Sunday. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I watch for?
