My small dog, who weighs about 15 lbs and is 5 years old, has not pooped for 2 days and his stomach is really hard. What can I give him to help with the constipation?

My dog, Lou, a 7-year-old 20lb beagle, was fine all day but around 6:30 he became really tired and lethargic. His breathing seems deeper than usual, and he's moving his stomach up and down more. He's eaten dinner but was apprehensive about it, and he's had water twice and peed and pooped twice, but he's definitely not himself. He has some dental disease and had 3 teeth removed, with more scheduled to be removed soon. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 4-month-old puppy, Blue, has been having intermittent diarrhea for over six days. There has been no major change in diet, but some improvement was seen when we switched to rice, pumpkin, and raw chicken. He has not eaten anything unusual recently and has no other symptoms like blood in his stool, vomiting, or appetite problems. He had a fecal flotation test on January 11 that revealed roundworms and hookworms, but he has not been rechecked yet. What should we do to treat his diarrhea?

My 15-year-old dog, Gus, has been diagnosed with tracheal collapse caused by an enlarged heart. Despite being on medications (Hycodan, Lasix, and Vetmedin), his persistent coughing has not improved. He occasionally has periods without coughing, but it remains a significant issue, especially at night. What additional steps or alternative treatments can be considered to alleviate his coughing?

My dog, Lovie, is a small, old beagle and Chihuahua mix, at least 10 years old. She has a small mass on her lower stomach and is in a lot of pain, shaking, and has a hunched back with a tucked tail. She is still eating, drinking, peeing, and pooping, but is uncomfortable. What could be causing her pain and what should I do?
