My dog has cancer and was prescribed Gemzar to be taken as an aerosol using a nebulizer. However, my dog recently developed a pneumothorax. The vet advised against tapping due to my dog's overall good condition, but I haven't been able to reach the oncologist to confirm if it's still safe to proceed with the Gemzar treatment. Is it okay to continue with the aerosol treatment?

My puppy, Knox, has a hard swollen tummy on his left side that appeared several hours after eating. He isn't in pain and his demeanor hasn't changed. I'm concerned about small, soft, round balls inside his belly when I rub it, which I initially thought were his internal organs but now worry might be something more serious. What should I do?

I have a 6-year-old Jack Russell Pit Bull named Ty who is recovering from a traumatic spinal stroke. He was put on a low dose of Prednisone (10mg twice a day, then reduced to 10mg once a day, and now 5mg once a day). I want to get him off Prednisone and would like advice on how to do so safely, considering his recovery and the side effects of the drug.

My dog, Riker, a 5-year-old 65-70lbs dog, ate a chocolate croissant about an hour ago. He hasn't vomited and has no underlying medical issues. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and what should I do to ensure he's okay?

My 6-week-old puppy seems to be constipated. He last pooped yesterday and has received soapsuds enemas twice without success. He whines and occasionally screams in pain, and is breathing hard. What can be done to help him?
