My 9-year-old dachshund is overweight at 25 pounds, has a heart murmur, increased thirst and urination, difficulty moving, and a firm pot belly. She is on a strict diet but continues to gain weight and exhibits symptoms of Cushing's disease. The vet's Cushing's test was negative, but she has elevated liver enzymes. What should I do next?

My 2-year-old black lab has rapid breathing, around 75 breaths per minute, with stomach and chest movements, occasional clear nasal discharge, and sporadic sneezing. He was initially diagnosed with Lyme disease and treated with steroids and antibiotics, which seemed to help but the symptoms returned. He was then put on Zyrtec, but the problem persists. What could be causing this rapid breathing and what further diagnostic tests should be considered?

My 10-year-old Brittany is panting and trembling a little off and on. She is eating and voiding normally. She got me up from a nap and has been following me closely.
