Luna Moon just came home from spinal surgery and has been experiencing 'hiccup-like jerks' that the surgeon doesn't believe are related to the surgery. These jerks occur in 3 to 5 second intervals and then she is quiet for hours. She is on cage rest and has no mobility in her hind legs. What could these jerks be and what should I do about them?

My dog was fertile (flagging 5 days ago) and is now constantly licking the area, and seems agitated and uncomfortable. Could she have a vaginal infection that needs immediate care?

My small poodle is experiencing pain in her lower abdominal area, below her last set of nipples and above her vagina. She had problems last week where she hid in my closet and showed some swelling in her lower stomach. This week, she is not acting strangely, eats and drinks normally, and has normal stool and urine, but flinches when touched near the swollen area. Additionally, she has minor swelling on the lower left side of her lower stomach and cannot fully extend her left leg, although her right leg has full range of motion. Should she receive medication, or will it heal on its own?

My 11 lb. Yorkie has been experiencing rapid onset of a rock-hard stomach, pacing, a warm dry nose, tail down, no interest in food, and extreme lethargy for a month. She has undergone x-rays, blood tests, and ultrasounds, has been medicated for pain and given two rounds of antibiotics, but the symptoms persist. She had her first dose of Bravecto two months ago. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should be taken?
