My dog, Lulu, a 12-year-old dachshund, has been acting strangely for several months. She has become a voracious eater, drinks excessively, has a bloated stomach, and frequently wets the bed at night. She has also had sinus infections and runny eyes and nose. Despite several inconclusive blood tests, I suspect she has Cushing's disease. What should I do next?

My dog, a 5-pound Maltese named Brady Roysen, may have swallowed a 300 mg gabapentin capsule. The capsule was opened, and it's unclear how much she actually ingested. She's been trying to clean her mouth out and hasn't vomited yet. What should I do?

I have a Golden Retriever named Dolly who is 6 years old. She isn't putting pressure on her front paw after a long run in the mountains. She didn't limp while running but has been cradling her paw and carefully avoiding pressure on it since last night. There are no visible cuts, abrasions, or swelling, and she occasionally gets fox tails without limping. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog Nova, who is 2 years old, has been licking, scratching, and biting at her skin for a few days, and I noticed red itchy spots tonight. She is on a monthly flea and tick medicine (Simparica Trio). What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help her?

My 12-year-old Lhasa Apso, Shepherd, has experienced paraphimosis twice. The second time, I managed to push it back into the sheath using vaseline, but it was noticeably cold to the touch. Should I be concerned about the coldness, and does Shepherd need to see a vet for this issue?

My dog, a golden doodle named Riggs, ate a small amount of 'thinking putty' by Crazy Aaron’s. He is 8.5 months old and weighs 60 to 65 pounds. He has not vomited and is currently showing signs of normal activity. What potential issues could arise from this ingestion and what should I look out for?
