My 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Jordie, has trouble walking, especially in his hind legs, and is completely lame. He had ACL surgery in February 2020 but never fully recovered. He has been on various anti-inflammatories and pain medications, had laser therapy, but now the vets are not providing clear answers. I do not want to subject him to more surgery and am looking for ways to improve his quality of life. What can be done to help Jordie?

Jordie's condition could be due to chronic joint pain, possibly related to his previous ACL surgery ...

My dog, Tesla, a 4-year-old female Akita weighing about 55 pounds, has had a persistent cough for 2 months, accompanied by bad breath and occasional white sputum. She was prescribed doxycycline by the vet, but it didn't help. Heartworm was negative. I also have two other dogs who occasionally cough. What should I do next?

My 9-year-old Yorkie Poo, Max, is a rescue dog with fear aggression. He often bites and growls when surprised or when I try to touch him, especially if I come from behind. He also seems to favor one of his back legs. What can be done to address his behavior and leg issue?

My 9-week-old pit bull puppy, Nass, has been very uncomfortable since coughing and sneezing while eating hard puppy food. He has lost a lot of weight, is not eating, holds his nose underwater, has green stuff coming out of his eyes, and now has a lump under his neck. What could be causing this and what should I do?
