My 6-year-old Shih Tzu has Cushing's disease. Will he eventually die from this? He can't walk very well, go out the dog door, or jump on the sofa. Should I put him down? Help.

My dog, Bella, a 4-year-old Maltese, is panting, hiding, pacing, and not wanting to lay down or be held. She is not showing any signs of a wound, vomiting, diarrhea, or trouble with stairs, but she is acting very unsettled. What could be causing this behavior?

Is it common for mature, experienced Maltese mothers to eat their newborn pups, and if they start cannibalizing them under stress, will they always do so?

My dog just ate a cushion pad for a human's toe. It didn't contain any medication. It was oval-shaped and very spongy. My dog is 3 years old, weighs about 12.5 lbs, and is half Yorkie and half Bichon. Should I be concerned?

Can I use Voltaren gel topically in very small amounts for my dog's minor ankle pain and inflammation, and has it been used for dogs? My dog, Lani, is 9 1/2 years old and has a history of IBS and is on thyroid medication. She was running and got caught a bit, causing her ankle to be lightly painful and inflamed, but it is not broken or a bad sprain.
