My 4-year-old English Bulldog, Gatsby, was limping and diagnosed with a torn CCL by a vet who recommended a $4,000 surgery. I am waiting for a second opinion from my regular vet. How can I be sure the surgery is really necessary, and can a torn CCL be diagnosed through X-rays?

My three dogs, Thumper (5 years old), Bambi (3 years old), and Odin (1 year old), have started coughing after being exposed to a dog diagnosed with kennel cough. All are up to date on their shots. What can I do for them since I cannot get them to a vet until the 15th or later?

My 9-week-old German Shepherd puppy, Apollo, has been vomiting clear liquid with a light brown tint, which is slightly foamy but contains no food. He has vomited about 4 times in the last 3 hours. He has been eating leaves, dirt, and grass, and possibly his poop recently. His stool has been consistently firm and regular. What could be causing this and what should I do?
