My 15 1/2 year old female Shih Tzu has been declining in health for the past year, displaying symptoms such as a head tilt, staring at walls or floors, extreme weight loss, difficulty walking, stumbling, loss of appetite, an external mass near her nose, difficulty breathing, disorientation, and lethargy. Is this due to old age, and is it her time to pass on?

I just got a boxer as my service dog. She has a happy tail, and it was bleeding but bandaged when I brought her home. She got the bandage off last night, so I rewrapped it and put neosporin on it. This morning, she only wants to go back to bed, hasn't pottied, and hasn't drunk water since last night. She hasn't eaten since I brought her home last night. Should I take her to the ER or follow up with my vet tomorrow?

My dog has been diagnosed with calcium oxalate crystals in his urine. He has been prescribed Hill's Prescription Diet (UD) dried food, which he dislikes. Is it possible to feed him home-cooked foods instead? What are the guidelines for preparing a balanced home-cooked diet for him, and are there any recommended resources or services to help with this?

I have a dog with chondrosarcoma of the nose. He is currently taking Thyroxine, Cyclophosphamide, Piroxicam, and Prednisone. We've tried reducing the Prednisone, but it causes severe nosebleeds and breathing difficulties. Is there another medication with fewer side effects that we could consider to reduce the Prednisone?
