My 4-year-old dog has kidney disease. He is drinking, peeing, and eating (though we have to force feed him and he sometimes throws up). He has diarrhea and woke up with a swollen leg, possibly swollen hock syndrome. What should I do to help him, and is there a chance to improve his condition without considering euthanasia?

I am concerned about my 8-year-old spayed German Shepherd. She has had swelling of the vulva for several days, with black pigmentation of the skin. The small nub that protrudes below her tail is very red, swollen, and seems to have black scabbing around it. She has been licking it constantly. When I try to wash it, she is very uncomfortable. I have tried putting vitamin A&D ointment on it, and it has only seemed to have gotten worse. Please advise.

My 13-pound 2-year-old Pomeranian got her 4-way Leptospirosis vaccine, Pyrantel dewormer, Distemper, and Lyme disease vaccinations yesterday and is somewhat lethargic and feels a little feverish. What can I give her for the fever?

Sarah, an 11-year-old golden retriever, recently vomited after getting into the trash and has been lethargic and not eating or drinking. She was seen by a vet who suggested extensive testing and potential euthanasia if a tumor was found, but I walked out due to the high cost. What should I do to help Sarah at home?

I have two Cattle Dogs, one started having a deep bark last night, developing a choking bar with white sticky mucus, and the other has now developed the same cough. Both are not off their food and seem quite OK in between these bouts. How could they have caught this suspect condition, is it highly contagious, and what about contact with humans? How long can a dog have suspected Kennel Cough? Should they be taken to a Vet or could one let it take its course? Should I restrict their activity?
