My 17-year-old dog, Patches, has been experiencing a decrease in appetite and has an odor coming from his mouth. He has been eating on and off for the past two weeks, but today he hasn't eaten anything. He also makes a chattering noise from his mouth and seems weak at times. He has Cushing's disease. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him until I can take him to the vet?

My dog was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma on the spleen about a month ago, and it has since spread to her liver and lungs. We did a splenectomy and she is on yunnan baiyao and I’mUnity supplement. I am concerned about the appropriate time to euthanize her, as she is eating well and sometimes gets around well but also needs help with her back legs. I am trying to figure out how fast the cancer would likely spread in her lungs and if we can safely have a couple more days with her.

My dog, Mishka, a 4-year-old recently adopted from a shelter, was neutered on Monday and has not pooped since, nor has he peed in the last 24 hours. He also has kennel cough, which has worsened, causing him to cough up mucus and wake up throughout the night. He has eaten only a small amount of grilled chicken since coming home and has an appointment with the vet on Saturday. Should I seek emergency vet care sooner?
