My 12-year-old dog, Mitzy, has been showing signs of declining health, including reduced mobility in her back legs, limited head movement, and increased lethargy. She has a history of health issues, including a severe case of heat stroke and gastroenteritis, and has not fully recovered her weight. Her appetite remains consistent, but she occasionally vomits and has varied stool consistency. What could be causing these symptoms and what can be done to help her?

I have an 8-week-old puppy named Akuma who urinated on me randomly, is breathing weirdly, and is whining a lot. Her tongue is abnormally whitish, and there's a small chance she came into contact with nightshade. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I have a greyhound mix named Zoro, who is lethargic, weak, has shaky front legs, pants constantly, and has difficulty sleeping. He also walks tenderly, avoids wet grass, and walks backwards. Additionally, he has a bloody dew claw on one leg. He has had these issues on and off for the last half year, but this time seems worse. He recently ate goose poop. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do before taking him to the vet?

My 16-year-old neutered male dog, Dee-Oh-Gee, has been experiencing white foamy vomit for three days, prior to that yellowish vomit for two days, and smelly poop for five days, which has been runny and mucusy on some days. He has diabetes and thyroid disorder, and is on insulin and thyroid medication. He has been eating grass and occasional people food like cheese, bread crust, crackers, and pieces of chicken over the last few days. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Cici, a 9-year-old Yorkie Maltese mix, has been experiencing severe itching on her paws and sensitive skin for months. She has been licking and rubbing the affected areas, and now has a crusty round patch on her chest. Her nails also show some crusting where the pad meets the nail bed. Additionally, she has been scooting on the floor, her tail is red, and her vulva has been infected multiple times. The vet has already tried prednisone, apoquel, and simplicef, but nothing has worked. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should be taken?

My dog has developed a tick virus (not Lyme but a close relative) and is showing a limp in his front paws. What can I expect, what do I need to know, and what can I do to prevent serious illness?
