I have a 7-year-old German Shepherd who had a TTA surgery a year ago, involving a titanium implant. She developed an infection that has persisted for months, with bloody, pus-like drainage progressing down her leg. Despite multiple treatments including antibiotics, steroids, and repeated vet visits, the infection continues. The vets are out of ideas. What could be causing this persistent infection, and what further steps can be taken?

I drove my 37 lb dog, Chico, to the vet for surgery. The drive is almost an hour and he was terrified, howling, running all over, and trying to get in my lap. I have to pick him up later today and am considering giving him Valium for the drive. What should I do?

My dog, Sheba, a 4-year-old, attacked a raccoon and sustained minor bleeding wounds near her eye and ear. She has had a rabies shot in the past, but I'm unsure if it's still effective. What should I do and what should the veterinarian be aware of?

My 10-year-old dog, Finnigan, has been experiencing periodic stomach upsets, which is not characteristic for him. He has had three episodes so far, about a month apart, and there has been no change in his diet. What could be causing these stomach upsets and what should I do to help him?
