My Basset Hound mix of almost 14 years died. He had bouts of restlessness and panting. Ate normal, drank normal. Vet did blood tests and electrolyte tests, all came back normal. He died 4 days later. What could have caused his death and is an autopsy an option for determining the cause?

How do I manage my dog's symptoms of slow and cautious movement, belly pain, lack of bowel movement or urine, and wobbliness? Specifically, what medications (like Pepcid, Pepto Bismol, and simethicone) should I give and how often, and what signs should I watch for that might indicate a more serious condition like bloat or pancreatitis?

My dog, Kiyeega, has been losing a lot of weight over the last month and I don't know why. He's been drinking less water than usual and hasn't shown any changes in appetite. He's 3 years old and hasn't had any other symptoms like lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or coughing. He's not on a heartworm preventative and has gotten into the trash before. What could be causing his weight loss and is there anything I can do to help before my appointment next Saturday?

My 11-year-old dog, Toby, has had itchy skin on his tummy since 1/10/22, and the skin color has darkened. He has been scratching himself against the carpet. I've tried coconut oil and bathing him with an itching shampoo, but the issue persists. What could be causing this, and what can I do to help him?
