My dog, Soñador, a 12-year-old pug/Boston mix, has been showing signs of back pain. When he tries to get up from laying down, he barely walks, hides his tail, and avoids going down stairs or doing anything. He has had this issue before but has always been a calm dog. What should I do?

What would happen if I stopped giving my dog prednisone suddenly? My dog was prescribed prednisone for a rash, but now his breathing seems affected. Should I continue the prescribed dosage or wean him off the steroids?

My 4-year-old spayed female pug, Bella, suddenly became unable to use her right-sided legs. She has no health issues, no signs of pain, and normal vitals. The ER vet suspects a blood clot or mass in her neck and recommended nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and hyperbaric oxygen sessions, which seemed to worsen her condition. They advised an MRI and possible surgery, but I'm unsure if steroids or other treatments could help. Should we consider euthanasia due to the high cost and uncertainty of surgery?
