My 8-year-old dog has small lumps near her breast, and the vet diagnosed her with cancerous tumors. She is scheduled for surgery next week to be spayed and have the tumors removed. What are the chances of her surviving the operation, and what are the chances of her getting cancer again?

My 14-year-old Yorkie has kidney failure and is having trouble walking and getting up. The vet prescribed Tramadol, but it upsets her stomach and causes diarrhea. Is there anything else I can try to help her?

Our 8 1/2 year old male golden retriever, Jackson, died suddenly on January 18th. He had been doing fine and had a vet visit in October. In November, he had diarrhea with mucus and some blood, which resolved after a few weeks. He then had a few nights with increased bathroom trips, but his stool returned to normal. He passed away suddenly in the early morning. The animal hospital suggested it might be a seizure or related to his brain or heart. Did I neglect him, and should I have done something differently?

My dog, Chica, has a sporadic cough for the past 3 days. She is still eating and drinking, but is slower to start eating. She recently visited a dog park with many other dogs. What could be causing the cough and what should I do to help her?
