Our dog, Kaya, a Brittany, was chewing on a smoked femur bone and then suddenly stopped, whimpered, and her belly became hard. She seemed better after eating a little food but then did it again. This happened several months ago for a night and then she pooped in the morning and was fine. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My puppy, Daisy, is favoring her right hind leg. She seems to walk okay, but won't attempt the stairs and yelps when I lift her to pick her up. She seems to stand up on it okay. Just started yesterday. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Our mixed breed dog is 10 years old and has recently become lethargic, refusing to eat anything, including his favorite foods, and has started coughing. He is skin and bones and has been like this for about 3 weeks. We have seen a local vet multiple times and have tried various foods, including special sick dog foods, but he still refuses to eat. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My dog, Joyce, a 14-month-old, has been straining for 4-5 hours to pass stool, which is stuck halfway out. The stool is not stuck in the hair around her anus. What should I do?
