My dog, Grady, was diagnosed with Lyme disease and started treatment with doxycycline and rimadyl. He initially improved but then showed signs of severe pain, including an arched back, shaking, whining, and panting. He was rechecked and found to be paralyzed in his hind quarters.

A mother dog with 6 puppies has been coughing all night and is drooling a lot. The puppies are fine, but the mother's breathing seems okay. Could the symptoms be related to a new environment, a recent bath, or something else?

My dog had a block of rat poison in her mouth, and Iām not sure if she ingested any. She did have some stuck on her back teeth, which I brushed off. She has been having diarrhea prior to this incident. What should I do?
