My 6-year-old miniature poodle, Cody, crawled under the sofa and stayed there all day. When we lifted him out, he won't eat or drink, is shaking, has a slightly open mouth (unusual for him), and acted like he couldn't climb steps. He also stayed in the same position on the sofa for 30 minutes. What could be wrong with him?

I have a dog with diabetes. We bought eye drops (Flubiprofen Sodium Ophthalmic) to help delay his blindness. After using them for a month, his eyesight worsened and he started bumping into things. His eyes also look darker now. Could the medicine have an opposite effect? Should we stop the eye drops? Is there any treatment for blindness other than surgery and implant?

My 11-year-old dog, Snoopy, has Cushing's disease, has had two ACL surgeries on his rear legs, and is experiencing trouble due to arthritis and being overweight. He is on thyroid meds and phenobarb for seizures. Is it a problem for him to be on carprofen?

My male dachshund, Max, has a swollen muzzle. I think he's been stung or bitten by a bug. There's no bleeding, just swelling on both sides of his nose and upper lip. He's otherwise healthy and weighs about 13 lbs. What should I do?
