I have a 12-year-old bulldog recently diagnosed with mouth cancer. She started vomiting with blood around 2am and has been consistently vomiting since then. She is extremely weak, struggling to poop, go up stairs, or walk. I am very worried about her. We just got a new puppy with kennel cough a few days ago, but they have not been in contact.

My dog had an acute spinal injury with unknown cause, resulting in paralysis of the back legs. He has shown some improvement with physical therapy, acupuncture, and laser therapy, but I'm concerned about whether he will regain full sensation and mobility in his legs. Should I consider surgery, and if so, when? Also, how long does it typically take for nerves to regenerate and for my dog to start feeling his toes again?

My 17-year-old dog had dementia and was experiencing severe health issues, including not eating, drinking, or producing urine. Despite multiple treatments and hospitalizations, she collapsed and was diagnosed with a poor prognosis. I regret not trying harder to save her and wonder if she could have been saved. Could her pacing and eventual collapse have been due to kidney failure or dehydration? Should I have taken her to the hospital sooner?

My Shih Tzu gets 'sore' and won't go to the bathroom after going to the groomer. He has been biting at his hind end and hasn't had a bowel movement in two days. I thought it might be due to having his anal glands cleaned, but even after asking the groomer not to do this, the issue persists. He just had a clean bill of health at the vet and is usually a happy dog, but this seems to happen every time he is groomed. Do you have any insights?

My dog, Dutchess, a 14-year-old German Shepherd, ate some drywall fragments this morning. She takes Vokase every day with food. What should I do?
