My dog, Sunshine, a 20 lb Maltese Shih Tzu, was diagnosed with adrenal-type Cushing's 3 months ago. She has experienced increased fluid intake, weight loss, constant shaking, pancreatitis, and now sudden cessation of water intake. Her hind legs are weak, and she seems disoriented. She has been on herbal support and Ophiopogon formula for Cushing's. What should I do about her current condition and is she in pain or suffering?

My dog is limping on her back right leg after visiting the dog park. She doesn't want to apply pressure to the foot or leg, and there were no visible injuries at the park. She has a small yeast infection on her foot but has been treating it. Should I wait a few days or take her to the vet immediately?

My 5-year-old Pomeranian mix is very sick. He started pooping bright red blood during the night with some diarrhea. His energy and personality are still the same, but he feels hot and is panting even in air conditioning. What could be wrong and how serious is it? I just moved and haven't found a vet in my new city yet.

My Standard Poodle, Marcel, is taking Vanectyl for unspecified allergies, which stops his runny nose and itchiness but gives him diarrhea. Is there a different drug that does not have that side effect?

My 10-year-old lab, Annie, has been trying to throw up for about 2 hours but nothing is coming out. She has expelled a little food and some slobber. This is the first time this has happened. Her breathing seems more labored, and her stomach feels tight. What could be wrong and what should I do?
