My 14-year-old overweight dachshund, Buck, has been listless and had difficulty walking since this morning. He ate a small amount of wet food, but hasn't attempted to walk since.

My border collie mix, Roe, has been having intermittent diarrhea for a few days. I started her on a diet of rice, chicken, and pumpkin, but the diarrhea returned. Tonight, she was crying to go out frequently, so I gave her 1mg of Imodium. However, I'm concerned about potential harm to border collies from Imodium. What should I do to address her diarrhea and ensure she's safe from any adverse effects of the Imodium?

My dog, Jack, has been coughing for over 14 days, especially in cold weather. He has been eating and drinking normally, but he has also been licking and scratching his skin. The cough sounds like he's trying to cough something up, sometimes with foam, and it worsens with activity or cold weather. We live in Maine, and he was in daycare before the coughing started. My other dog, an 80lb lab, also has a milder cough. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
