My dog, Annie, was hit by a car four nights ago. X-rays showed no broken bones, but her rear end is affected. She's on prednisone, and one leg hangs and drags while the other she puts down but not well. She's off pain meds and doesn't seem to have painful areas on her spine and legs now, but there were spots that were painful. The dragging leg concerns me, especially when I massage the leg and it seems to tense up and work. What could be the cause of her hind leg's loss of function, and what should I do?

I have a four-year-old male Labrador named Champ. He hasn't been eating for the past four days, is inactive, has weak limbs, and seems very sick. Last year's injections were in June 2016. Can you assist with a diagnosis?

I found a small red bump on my dog's stomach. It appeared a few days ago and does not seem to bother her. What could this bump be, and what steps should I take to determine its nature?

We have an older Weimaraner named Gunner who had surgery to repair a torn ACL a couple of years ago. Now, in that same leg, he is bending his paw over and walking on the top, dragging that leg and is extremely weak in his back legs. He isn't acting like he is in pain and is taking Glycoflex, Fish Oil, and 10 mg of thyroid medicine. What could be causing this issue and what should we do?

My dog has many health issues and poor quality of life, but I do not have the heart to put him to sleep. His condition is also affecting my life. Do you have advice and/or resources to help me through this difficult time?

My dog, Shiloh, a 3-year-old 50-pound German shepherd mix, has a swollen snout on one side. She is in pain, tilting her head, walking funny, and seems weak. What could be causing this and what should I do?
