My 16-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, Charlie, is losing weight despite eating and drinking. She has lost her hearing, sight, and smell, and seems to obsess over food. She has difficulty sitting and her back hips seem to be the worst affected. She is getting skinnier every day, and her tail is always between her legs with no real emotions. She occasionally vomits and has no real control over her toilet habits. How do I know if it's time to consider euthanasia, and what should I look for in terms of her quality of life?

My dog has been itching for a while, and despite using a good bath and cotton cream, it seems more serious now. I see scabs, especially starting from the left ear and spreading all over her body. She is up to date on vaccinations. What could be causing this and what should I do?

What should I do for my overweight 6-year-old Chiweenie named CocoRose who is very listless, sleeps all day, demands my presence, and is a picky eater, especially after having pancreatitis a month ago?

My 14-year-old dog, Diamond, was diagnosed with kidney failure. She has had little to eat or drink for a few days, and this morning she passed a large pool of blood. She is lethargic but moving around normally and taking water from a syringe. Is the bloody stool a side effect of her failing kidneys or a sign of internal bleeding? What steps should we take to manage her condition and keep her comfortable?

My 4-month-old pitbull puppy, Ghost, has had normal color diarrhea with some blood at the end, and vomited yellow-ish vomit. We suspect he may have eaten something unusual. What should we do?

My puppy, Beans, is peeing a little blood. When did you notice there was blood in the puppy's urine? Has there been an unusual smell too? Does the puppy seem more tired than usual? How old is Beans? Is Beans a male or female pup?
