My 14-year-old Bichon mix dog has a level 4 heart murmur and an occasional hacking cough. My vet started him on Vetmedin, Enalapril Maleate, and Lasix. After 5 days on these meds, he is clingy, lethargic, and has an irregular heartbeat. He was not experiencing these issues before starting the meds and was quite energetic. Should I stop the meds, and what should I do if his heartbeat remains irregular?

Hello! My Chihuahua is 15 years old and has kidney disease. She is coughing when she exerts herself, which doesn't happen all the time. My veterinarian wants to do an X-ray. I thought X-rays were for bone mass and could not detect soft tissue problems. Please advise.

Our dog is very itchy, chewing the tip of his tail, and has very little fur on his underside with pink skin. He has been eating Purina sensitive food but recently spit up grass. He has a history of being insecure and nervous due to a traumatic early life. What could be causing his symptoms and what can we do to help him?

My dog, Penny, a 6-year-old Beagle-Boxer mix, won’t let me touch or trim her nails. She had a bad experience at a groomer and now gets anxious. How can I safely and effectively trim her nails without getting bitten or having her jump?
