My puppy recently passed a worm in her feces. She is approximately 12 weeks old. The breeder started her deworming, and I took her for her 1st set of vaccinations last week. The vet suggested I start over with the deworming. What type of worm is it, and what should I do next?

My 10-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was diagnosed with diabetes in April 2019. He was prescribed Vetsulin, but his diabetes is still not controlled despite the high cost of treatment. Is there a cheaper human insulin, like Walmart's Novolin N, that he can safely switch to, and how long does it typically take to regulate diabetes in dogs?

My dachshund, Fox, age 2.5, is making soft continuous grunt noises more frequently than usual, moving a little slower, and pawing at her nose with a slightly different bark. I'm concerned she might be in pain or experiencing allergies. What should I do?

My dog is lethargic and has started limping suddenly. She is a Northern Reserve Rescue, estimated to be 4-5 years old. She has always been energetic and we take her for an hour-long off-leash walk every morning. She was fine after yesterday's walk but became lethargic an hour later and has remained so since. There are no ongoing health issues. What could be causing this and what should I check?
