My dog Oakley had another episode of explosive diarrhea in her kennel, with a few drops of blood. It's been about three weeks since the initial episode, and she seemed normal in between. Should I try the same treatment again or change her food? Could her anxiety during a stormy day have caused this?

Dr. Berger, I am concerned about the chemotherapy drug Mitotane prescribed for my dog Precious, who has Cushing's disease. I am worried about the potential side effects and the impact on her quality of life. What are the side effects of Mitotane, and is there an alternative treatment like Trilostane that might be less harsh? Additionally, what is the recommended blood draw schedule for monitoring her condition during treatment?

We rescued a border collie puppy named Piper who was dumped in the country. She has a skin infection, was given Clavamox, but stopped eating and drinking after five doses, became lethargic, and later started vomiting and having diarrhea. We haven't started the new medication because she's not eating and they said to give it with food. The vet isn't concerned about parvo since she doesn't have a fever. What should we do to help Piper?
