My dog, Macky, a 40-pound Wheaten Terrier, has been experiencing health issues since August, including coughing, difficulty keeping food down, and discomfort at night.

She has been on various medications, including Pepcid AC, which helps during the day but not at night.

My Shih Tzu had a 3-year Distemper vaccine and hasn't been the same since. He's laying around lethargically, seems unhappy, and is not his usual self. This is the second day. Should I be concerned? My other pet hasn't pooped in a few days, and both are eating small amounts of food. The Shih Tzu was at the emergency clinic recently because he ate a sparerib bone and didn't poop for about 3 days. They cleaned him out and saw no issues.

She has these episodes a few times a year, which are becoming more frequent. I've tried medications like rymidal, valium, and antibiotics, but no vet can diagnose her condition. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further diagnostics or treatments should I consider?

I live in a rural area of Alaska with no access to a vet. My 9-year-old dog, Jazz, was bitten by another dog, and the wound has healed over but now appears to be a subcutaneous abscess. There is no bleeding or draining, but a lump of pus has formed. Jazz has had all her shots and is spayed. What should I do to treat the abscess, and can I get medications shipped to me?
