My dog, Linkin, a 6-year-old on a hydrolyzed diet and sulfasalazine, has had diarrhea for almost 24 hours after starting a new medication, Apoquel. He was on a half pill every 12 hours for 2 weeks, then changed to a quarter pill every 12 hours, which resulted in great stool for 3 days before the diarrhea started. What could be causing the diarrhea and what can I do to help him?

My dog, Boone, a 7-year-old blue heeler mix, isn’t eating well but doesn’t have diarrhea. He still plays and shows no signs of pain. He has been on a grain-free diet for over a year and is sensitive to food changes. What could be causing his decreased appetite, and what steps should I take to address this?

My dog has a persistent swelling on the nailbed that has not resolved with initial treatment. The swelling does not grow or grows very slowly. Can this be a cancerous tumor, and what are the possible diagnoses for such a swelling? Additionally, is the proposed biopsy procedure worth the risk, considering my dog's anxiety with separation?

My small Chihuahua, Lucy, has become lethargic and is not eating or drinking. She is one year old, not spayed, and has not shown any signs of pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. This behavior is out of character for her, especially since she just had her shots last Monday. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to help her?
