My 8-month-old morkie has been experiencing urinary pain for 7 days. All possible tests (blood, urine, X-rays, ultrasound) were performed, but none detected any abnormalities. The dog is periodically whining in pain, stretches its body, passes gas, and pees small drops around the house and outside. My vet prescribed pain medication, anti-inflammatory, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. What are the next steps to diagnose the problem?

My 1 1/2-year-old Labrador had a lipoma fatty mass removed from the side of his neck a week ago. Last night, I noticed a bulging 'jelly' feeling bulge at the suture site, which is not painful and feels loose. What could this bulge be, such as inflammation, developing scar tissue, or something else?

Our dog, Fritzie, has been diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, a tumor that can be in two different places (pituitary gland or adrenal gland) and can be cancerous or benign. We live in Alaska where there are no specialists for this condition. My questions are: 1. Any input on Cushing's Disease? 2. A referral to a vet in Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, or Eastern Illinois that specializes in Cushing's Disease.
