My Boston Terrier Cleo, who has Cushing's disease and is currently on 30 mg Vetoryl, had an ACTH stimulation test with pre-treatment level of 0.6 and post-treatment level of 1.6. My vet suggested reducing the dosage to 20 mg and retesting in one month. I am concerned about overtreating and want to know if I should stop the current dosage until new meds arrive, and what the appropriate testing schedule should be.

I have a Shih-tzu and a Chihuahua mix who don't like any food I get them, wet or dry. I've tried various brands, mixers, and even bits of ham in their food, but no results. What can I do to get them to eat and stop spending so much on food?

My 5 lbs Maltese licked a small amount of Nutella off the floor early this morning. It is now 9AM and she seems fine. Should I be worried, and is there anything I should do or watch for?

Hi, my dog had several shots yesterday, including rabies and a rattlesnake vaccination. He is now having trouble standing and walking, and whimpers when his legs are touched. Would this be because of the shots?

I have a 3-month-old toy-size Xolo puppy. If he is used to his crate and it is a special crate called the puppy apartment where there is a divider and he can go through a little door to relieve himself on the other side, is it okay to crate him overnight for 9 hours? Is that cruel to do, or is it okay? Will it have a negative effect on his mental health?
