My 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier has been diagnosed with severe chronic kidney disease and non-regenerative anemia. Despite treatment with Aranesp, antibiotics, and fluid therapy, his red blood cell count continues to decline. Given his heart condition, a bone marrow test is not an option.

I have a 3-year-old standard dachshund who experiences severe pain episodes every 2-3 months, characterized by rolling on his back, trying to climb all over me, crying, and literally screaming. He has been examined by a vet multiple times, including x-rays and CT scans, but no physical cause has been found. He is currently being treated with muscle relaxers and Rimadyl, but the episodes continue. What could be causing these painful episodes and are there alternative treatments available?
