My dog had her teeth cleaned today and has been restless and whining since I got her home. She seemed groggy during the car ride home but not since we arrived at the house. She's been under anesthesia before and had a teeth cleaning once before as well as being spayed. She did eat dinner, drink water, and go potty, but she's just pacing and whining. What could be causing this behavior, and should I be concerned about her being in pain?

My dog has been diagnosed with mild pancreatitis and has been treated by multiple specialists and general practice vets, including bloodwork and ultrasounds. She has a cyst on her pancreas and has had chronic pancreatitis since November. She is currently on prednisone for what was assumed to be a flare-up of meningitis, but she is still not improving and is very picky with food and has loose stools. Should a mild case of pancreatitis be causing this much trouble, and what else can be done to help her recover?

My 9.6-year-old female Standard Poodle, Olivia, has been trying to pee twelve or so times on an hour's walk but no urine comes out. What could be the issue and what should I do?

We have a small, healthy, 3-year-old Shih Tzu, approximately 9 lbs, and yesterday we gave her the appropriate dose of K9 Advantix. She began to rub her body on the bathroom mat almost immediately and has since become increasingly lethargic, refusing to walk and only taking a few steps at a time. She ate a little dinner but won't eat breakfast and has not been drinking much water. Is this a possible side effect of the treatment?
