My 13-year-old male beagle mix dog has a 2mm urolith in his urinary bladder, a pH of 7.5, and 2-3 struvite crystals. He had a urinalysis and a urine culture that showed no infection or blood. However, he sometimes shows signs of pain. Additionally, an ultrasound revealed a nodule in his left adrenal gland. What treatment options and management strategies would you recommend for his bladder stone and adrenal nodule?

I found a stray dog and have taken her into my home with the goal of finding her a permanent home. She has nasty smelling feces, drinks a lot of water, and is not trained. My own dog is getting confused when I give commands to the new dog. What amount of water should an almost 1-year-old dog drink, and how can I stop the confusion for my dog when giving commands to the new dog?

I have a 9-year-old Maltese. She was fine the day before, but now she is struggling to walk, especially with her right front leg, and often falls to her right side. I am concerned about a possible spinal injury or nerve damage. How can I observe her at home, and what should I look for to determine the cause of her condition?

My dog, a yellow lab, is experiencing a loss of bowel control, pooping on her bed or in the garage without seeming to realize it. She exercises regularly, is active, and appears healthy otherwise, eating Beneful Healthy Weight dog food. What could be causing this issue and what can be done to address it?
