My dog, Harlie, hasn't eaten for about 2 days, only managed to eat some sliced American cheese, and is drinking less water than usual.

My dog has very bad teeth with infections and a bad smell, is over 12 years old, and is having difficulty walking. I am worried about the cost and potential need for euthanasia. What should I do and what is the approximate cost for dental procedures, including anesthesia, in Chicago?

My 11-year-old mixed breed dog, weighing 31 pounds, has been experiencing episodes where her legs give out, causing her to collapse. She does not panic during these episodes, which occur sporadically and resolve quickly, allowing her to resume normal activity. What could be causing these episodes, and what diagnostic steps should I consider?

My American Eskimo has developed a "hot spot" on her tail, which is bright red and obviously irritating her. She's licking it and it definitely is bothering her. Is there anything I can do for her to relieve the discomfort until Monday when I will take her to the vet?
