My dog, RaDar, a 7-year-old intact Welsh Corgi, has a rectal hernia and is having difficulty passing stools. I am currently giving him wet food mixed with pumpkin, 2 ml of lactulose, and 1/2 tsp of Miralax three times a day. I cannot afford surgery yet. What can I do to help him get his stools softer, and who would be the best vet in my area to perform the surgery?

My dog, Cabby, has had diarrhea for 2 days and is having a hard time walking. She holds her back hind foot up and has seen two vets who induced vomiting after she ate some ibuprofen. All lab results look good, but she still has diarrhea and is limping. What could be causing her difficulty walking, and should I be concerned about the ibuprofen?

My 9-week-old puppy, Ruger, started groaning and seemed restless about 30 minutes after eating his lunch. The only new thing he had was a Nylabone brand edible bone. He has had both a bowel movement and urinated since showing these symptoms. Now he's shivering and feels warm to the touch. His gums are pink and warm, only slightly moist. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
