I have an 11-1/2 year old Yorkshire terrier with a heart murmur who recently experienced severe urinary tract infection and possible congestive heart failure. She has been vomiting and unable to keep down food or water despite receiving multiple medications, including heart medication, stomach medication for diarrhea, and antibiotics. How can I help her and what should I do next?

My 11-year-old Dalmatian has high liver readings but shows no symptoms of liver disease. He is eating and behaving normally. He has been prescribed Rimadyl for joint pain, Destolit, and Ronaxan for suspected liver disease. Can these medications be taken together, and why were they prescribed if no symptoms are present? Could tooth decay or Rimadyl side effects cause elevated liver test readings, and when might symptoms of liver disease present themselves?
