My bulldog, Bella, who is approximately 6 years old and has been diagnosed with Cushing's disease, is experiencing wobbly back legs and sometimes drags herself around when she can't get upright. She also appears bloated and has excessive gas. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a 13-year-old male Cairnpoo diagnosed with congestive heart failure and a dry cough. He is on Vetmedin, Enalapril, lasix, and torbutrol for the cough. The vet suggested the cough is from the esophagus, not the heart. I need a less expensive substitute for torbutrol and want to ensure the correct dosage for any alternative medication. The cough is worse at night. What can I use instead of torbutrol, and how should I administer it?

I have an 8 lb, 2-year-old Yorkie named Molly who has tapeworms. I have seen them and am concerned about them in my yard and on my furniture. Molly is currently taking Heartgard and I have three other dogs. Can I give her an over-the-counter wormer, and should I treat the other dogs as well?

My 12-year-old 85 lb white shepherd/lab mix, Sammi, has sensitive skin and is allergic to several things. She is currently on Apoquel and recently finished a 28-day course of Cefpodoxime antibiotics. Despite this, her skin has become bright red, swollen, and has brown discharge, particularly between her toes. She also sheds more than usual and has a yeasty odor. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done next?
