My dog, Nyla, age 5, is usually very active but this morning she is laying around, breathing heavily, and not eating. She may have eaten wood chips from a wooden door. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog, Morkey, a 10-year-old, is having a hard time walking, with his left leg being particularly weak. He has a history of Lyme disease and disc disease. He started showing these symptoms yesterday and is now unable to walk, appearing wobbly and very weak. He hasn't urinated in two days and is on medication, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do?

My dog, Blue, a 3-year-old mixed breed (black lab and pit bull), started producing orange liquid instead of solid stool 6 days ago. I fasted her for a day and then fed her chicken and rice. Her stool has improved to more solid but remains orange and resembles melted soft serve ice cream. She had occasional loose stool before this, which I attributed to diet changes. The sudden change occurred after a stressful event where she pulled the leash out of my hand, causing me to react negatively. What could be causing this and what should I do?

He also has pale gums and walks with his tail between his legs. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help him?

My 5-year-old neutered pitbull, Doshin, has been aggressive towards other dogs in our yard for about two years. He has bitten a dog before but caused no severe wounds. What can be done to address his aggression and prevent him from being sent to a shelter?

My approximately 3-year-old neutered male lab mix, Fred, has not been eating for over a week, taking only small bites and eating table scraps intermittently. He is drinking regularly, has regular bowel movements and urination, but is lethargic and depressed-looking. He still wags his tail and interacts, but has slightly heavy breathing. He has been trying to eat grass and received a maintenance dose of de-wormer 3 days ago. What could be causing his lack of appetite and should I take him to a veterinarian?
