My 14-year-old pit bull suddenly began yelping today, has difficulty walking up steps, and seems uneasy and reclusive. He had 18 teeth extractions several months ago and has had hip problems in the past. What could be causing his discomfort, and what can I do to help him?

My 12-year-old Maltese has convulsions, fell on the ground, rear legs don't function, can't stand up, doesn't cry or bark, and appears to be dying. What should I do?

My dog has been acting strangely for a few weeks. He used to enjoy long walks but now lays down and refuses to walk. However, he can still scamper up steps and stand on his hind legs to play. Sometimes he doesn't approach his food or water bowl, but will eat and drink if I bring it to him. What could be causing this behavior?

I have my 11-month-old Shih Tzu groomed every 6 weeks. I am concerned that the groomer does not cut his nails short enough to prevent the nailbed from growing, which could cause pain when walking. What is the correct length for a dog's nail to prevent this, and how do I tactfully communicate this to my groomer?

Our dog is 13 and just got diagnosed. The vet said he is pretty healthy for his age. Is this the start of the end for him?

My year-old Toy Poodle, Freedom, ingested several tablespoons of butter and immediately vomited large amounts of liquidy butter, followed by diarrhea. He seems okay now but has been drinking water and chewing on a dog bone. The incident was about 6 hours ago. Should I feed him something bland, and should I seek veterinary attention?
