My 11-year-old dog has an abdominal growth filling 90% of her abdominal cavity, and she is not a surgical candidate. We've been maintaining frequent small feedings to keep her blood sugar high, and she hasn't had any subsequent seizures. What should I expect, and what should I do if she has another seizure? How do I monitor her condition without causing her unnecessary suffering or acting prematurely?

My 6-year-old overweight male puggle, weighing 49 lbs, is having rear leg problems, struggling to jump onto the couch or into a car, but can jump down fine. He walks okay on flat ground but has trouble with stairs and raises his rear leg when standing. He seems to have a small bulge in the leg muscle area on his favored leg. What could be causing these issues and what tests should be performed?

My puppy ate a large portion of a towel, had bad breath smelling strongly of feces, and vomited up the towel. Now, she is no longer vomiting but still has bad breath. Should I be concerned about a potential blockage, and what could be causing the bad breath?

My dog just broke half of her front tooth. One half came out, and it doesn't seem to be bothering her. I don't have money right now for a vet bill. Is there anything I need to do about it, or will it fall out on its own?
