My dog, Stripe, won't stop barking. He is 16 years old and his hips seem to hurt. We have tried dog pain pills, but they don't seem to help. Aside from this barking, have you noticed other behavioral changes in the dog? Any signs of pain or discomfort?

My dog, Perry, a 10-year-old Yorkie, is experiencing intermittent pain in the lower flank region, especially after eating and walking up stairs. X-rays show calcium cystals in the bladder and a kidney stone. What are the treatment options for kidney stones in Yorkies, and can laser lithotripsy be a possibility?
