My almost 15-year-old, 65 lb female Samoyed has always had weakness in her rear left leg, diagnosed as psoriatic arthritis. She was prescribed Previcox, which she tolerated well but recently showed more weakness and slipping on non-carpeted floors. She was also given Tramadol for pain, but this seemed to worsen her weakness. Should I stop the Tramadol to see if her weakness improves, and what other treatments or medications could help manage her condition?

I have a 93 lbs labradoodle named Dew with chronic diarrhea for 5 years. We have tried various treatments including eastern medicine, antibiotics, herbs, diet changes, and different types of food, but nothing seems to help. What other possibilities can I explore to resolve this issue?

I have 2 dogs who have lived together for the past 4 years. All of a sudden, they are attacking each other. One dog gets extremely anxious and begins to pant, while the other puts her ears back, so I immediately separate them. I tried a sedative to calm them down after one of their episodes, but this is only a short-term fix. Do you have any suggestions? Would a dog behaviorist have anything to offer in this type of situation? I really don't want to have to get rid of either dog. Any help would be appreciated.

My 6-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, weighing 12 lbs, was stung by a bee about 30 minutes ago. He is limping and constantly licking the area on his foot, but there is no visible stinger and no signs of a reaction. Should I give him Benadryl, and if so, how much?

My dog has been vomiting after eating grass and now has diarrhea with straining. I'm concerned about constipation or a stomach problem. We feed him lamb and rice food and exercise regularly. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?
