My dog, Boone, a 7-year-old blue heeler mix, isn’t eating well but doesn’t have diarrhea. He still plays and shows no signs of pain. He has been on a grain-free diet for over a year and is sensitive to food changes. What could be causing his decreased appetite, and what steps should I take to address this?

My dog, Stanly, a Yorkie, has had diarrhea for the last three days and is not eating. He is up-to-date with his shots and does not seem to be in pain or more tired than usual. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My dog has a persistent swelling on the nailbed that has not resolved with initial treatment. The swelling does not grow or grows very slowly. Can this be a cancerous tumor, and what are the possible diagnoses for such a swelling? Additionally, is the proposed biopsy procedure worth the risk, considering my dog's anxiety with separation?

My small Chihuahua, Lucy, has become lethargic and is not eating or drinking. She is one year old, not spayed, and has not shown any signs of pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. This behavior is out of character for her, especially since she just had her shots last Monday. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to help her?

My dog is currently taking gabapentin, amitriptyline, meloxicam for pain, and thyrotab for low thyroid. She has been diagnosed with a UTI and was originally prescribed Clovamax, which made her vomit. I just picked up sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim that the clinic recommended instead, but I'm concerned about a significant interaction between this and her amitriptyline, especially since she is 19 with a heart murmur and MVDD. Should I be worried about this interaction, and is there anything I should watch for with this new antibiotic?
