My 7-week-old Boston Terrier has been coughing since we got him. After a vet visit and treatment, he is still very sick with coughing, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, and weakness. The vet diagnosed a narrow trachea, possibly due to infection, and suggested euthanasia. The breeder's vet diagnosed pneumonia. Could the narrow trachea be due to lung infection, and is there hope for recovery?

I have a three-month-old puppy who has had diarrhea for about a month, including blood in his stool. He was treated for tapeworms with a shot, which temporarily improved his condition, but the diarrhea returned. We have run blood tests, stool samples, dewormed him several times, given him antibiotics and antidiarrheal medication, and changed his diet to chicken and rice. What could be causing his diarrhea, and what should I do next?

My dog was diagnosed with a sarcoma after surgery for a growth and its biopsy. However, a follow-up with blood test, aspiration of lymph cells, and chest x-ray showed no metastasis. The oncologist veterinarian is recommending radiation therapy. My boxer is eight years old. The dog has no pain or any other symptom. Do you think that radiation therapy can do any good?
