My 8.8 lb toy poodle named Angel has liver enzymes at 752 (normal is in the 100s). She has been prescribed Amoxicillin and DENAMARIN for liver support. Her mood has changed significantly, and she now sleeps under the bed. Is my vet on the right track, and what further steps should be taken to diagnose and treat her condition?

My 1 1/2-year-old Labrador had a lipoma fatty mass removed from the side of his neck a week ago. Last night, I noticed a bulging 'jelly' feeling bulge at the suture site, which is not painful and feels loose. What could this bulge be, such as inflammation, developing scar tissue, or something else?

Our dog, Fritzie, has been diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, a tumor that can be in two different places (pituitary gland or adrenal gland) and can be cancerous or benign. We live in Alaska where there are no specialists for this condition. My questions are: 1. Any input on Cushing's Disease? 2. A referral to a vet in Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, or Eastern Illinois that specializes in Cushing's Disease.

My dog, Moxie, has a small bump on her head that looks like a pimple but is hard like a cyst. The bump has a white head and there is no redness or inflammation. She doesn't seem bothered by it and is otherwise happy and playful. What could this be and how should I treat it?

My two geriatric dogs, Jeb (17 years old) and Binkly (13 years old), have difficulty walking when they wake up after sleeping for a long time. They become incontinent and their legs do not work initially, but they recover after a few minutes. They are both taking Phycox Max supplements. What could be causing this and is there a way to manage or fix it?

My 6-month-old puppy, Lady, keeps coughing up mucus. She was prescribed antibiotics and a steroid by the vet 4 weeks ago, but she still has days where she coughs up mucus. Her temperature is consistently 102.4°F. What could be causing this and what should I do?
