My 45 lb German Pinscher, Elsa, is a spayed female, 7 years old. For the last 3 days, she has been biting at her hind end, walking a few steps before hitting the ground and whirling around as if something is biting her backside. She has a slight fever, no discharge, good bowel movements, and some straining when urinating. She has had a UTI before, which cleared up with antibiotics and Rimadyl. What could be causing her discomfort, and what should I do?

My dog, a heeler mix named Chase, has been taking Metronidazole for constipation but now has diarrhea and is lethargic. Should we stop the medication? He has been on a raw diet for a month and was doing well until the constipation started.
