My dog, Lady, a 3-year-old King Charles Cavalier, is recovering from a bladder infection but is struggling to climb stairs and yelps when lifted. She is on antibiotics and Metacam for pain, eats and drinks well, and is generally happier. Should I be worried, and what additional steps should I take?

My 1-year-old Dalmatian, Shelby, had diarrhea for 3-4 days, which has now resolved, but she intermittently poops in the house and won't eat her food. She has redness around her anus and her tail is down when she walks, but she doesn't seem to be in pain or more tired than usual. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Jake, a 3-year-old Chihuahua, jumped off the bed and landed on his back right leg. He sometimes dangles it and other times walks normally. Is it broken, a tear, or a sprain, and should I be concerned before his vet appointment?

My boyfriend's dog, Ibby, a 20-pound Catahoula mix with Dachshund, started dry heaving this morning after chewing on a bone. She has not vomited, but her breathing becomes labored for a minute after each episode, which occurs every 5-10 minutes. She has not eaten anything since this started. What should we do to help her?
