Hi, my dog had several shots yesterday, including rabies and a rattlesnake vaccination. He is now having trouble standing and walking, and whimpers when his legs are touched. Would this be because of the shots?

I have a 3-month-old toy-size Xolo puppy. If he is used to his crate and it is a special crate called the puppy apartment where there is a divider and he can go through a little door to relieve himself on the other side, is it okay to crate him overnight for 9 hours? Is that cruel to do, or is it okay? Will it have a negative effect on his mental health?

My 8-year-old dog was in a fight with a kitten two nights ago. Today, his left eye is droopy, there's minor swelling under his left eye, and he's extremely lethargic. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 14 1/2-year-old miniature pinscher has been experiencing diarrhea, loss of appetite, choking, falling over, and passing out for a moment. She recently had a chest X-ray showing a slightly enlarged heart and a bend in her trachea, with clear lungs. Her last blood work was fine, but she is on low-dose thyroid medicine and heart medication (enalapril and pimobendan). What other suggestions do you have for her condition?

My dog, Max, is not eating his regular food and only eats when it's mixed with other foods or when it's something he really likes. He recently ate part of a rubber ball and had diarrhea for a couple of days, but his stools are normal now. He also has a history of limping and inflammation in his elbow, for which he was prescribed steroids and antibiotics. What could be causing his picky eating behavior and what can I do to help him?
