My dog, Harrison, age 3, has been experiencing a brown/pink discharge from his penis for the third time. The vet prescribed antibiotics twice, which helped temporarily, but the issue returns after he lays on the grass. The vet suspects bladder stones due to traces of crystals found in his urine. The dog's behavior, including energy levels, bathroom habits, play, and eating, remains normal. What should be the next steps to diagnose and address this issue?

My 6-year-old Chihuahua, Tucker, suddenly cannot balance himself to walk, responds strangely to sunlight, has unusual breathing, cannot hold his head up, and wants to lay down and sleep. He was fine last night but started showing these symptoms around lunchtime today. What should I do?

My 4 kg Maltese, Buddy, has a crucial ligament tendon damage in his knee. He was diagnosed yesterday and is on pain relief medication (meloxicam). Can I get some sort of strapping to help him from hobbling on three legs? Additionally, Buddy has a history of pancreatitis, diabetes, cataracts, and now this tendon damage.

My 10.5-month-old dog, Dakota, has been laying down and won't get up. She refused a treat and hasn't eaten today. She was given antibiotics and a steroid shot on 6/18 for itchy skin and hair loss on her inside back legs. She isn't scratching or biting like before, but she has lost two pounds between vet visits. What should I do?

My female terrier, Coco, is 8 years old. For the past 2 days, she has been experiencing diarrhea that squirts out of her butt, the stool is very dark, and she has been vomiting yellow stomach bile. She hasn't eaten anything unusual and has been very depressed. Her stomach looks big, and she only ate a couple of bites of boiled ground turkey meat mixed with brown rice. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I have a 7-pound Maltese named Lulu who has been pacing and licking the floor all day, showing signs of restlessness and anxiety. There has been no change in her food, and she has been in good health otherwise. What could be causing this behavior, and what can I do to help her?
