My eight-year-old Bichon has red-brown, bleeding nails and brownish stains under her eyes. The vet has given her Metronidazole 250mg, but she struggles to take it and it doesn't seem to help. What kind of medication should she be on, and should I cut the brownish nails?

I have a large, mini Aussie (not fat) who just turned 3 years old in January. He began vomiting everything and was diagnosed with pervasive liver disease and pancreatitis. All 3 vets we visited (regular, ER, and specialist) said he doesn't have long. It's been a week and a half. What could have caused this in such a young, healthy dog?

I have an 8-year-old mini poodle named Buddy who has been coughing and making a snorting/gagging sound. He has not been to a grooming or boarding facility recently, does not bring anything up when he coughs, and is lethargic. The cough sounds like he is snorting. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My fourteen-year-old Collie is experiencing restlessness, crying, whining, difficulty moving, panting, wheezing, a tense and full stomach, and unproductive vomiting. His gums are pale pink and foamy, and his abdomen is distended. What should we do?

My dog ate some Scotts PatchMaster lawn repair, which is about 70% mulch and 18% fertilizer. How harmful could this be?

My 12-year-old miniature pinscher was diagnosed with cancer this week. She has enlarged lymph nodes in her neck, and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. We have an appointment with an oncologist next Thursday. Tonight, the lymph nodes feel slightly swollen. Should I move the appointment up? She is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom fine.
