My 8-9 year old rescue terrier has a metallic, rotten smell in his mouth that has been present for about a week-10 days. He has a normal appetite, enjoys his usual activities, but has been more sleepy. Should I take him to an ER or wait for his scheduled vet appointment on Wednesday?

I take in dogs when people go away, and the dogs that come to stay with me often get bad diarrhea. My two dogs are fine. What could be causing this diarrhea in the visiting dogs?

I am interested in buying a toy poodle puppy named Lucy. She gets watery eyes after playing for 5-10 minutes, which I initially thought were tear stains but appear to be very wet and dark tear marks. I am concerned if this is a sign of a health issue or something normal. Does the puppy have any allergies, and is there anything else the vet should know about Lucy?

My 14-year-old Bichon Schitzu has been diagnosed with stage 4 renal disease. She is mildly lethargic, eating less, and has lost weight. What are the chances that IV fluids or a kidney flush will prolong her life, and what other steps should be considered?

My dog, Glady, an 11-year-old Golden Doodle, has been whinny, walking slowly with her head down and back hunched up for about 4-5 days. She doesn't lift her head when I try to lift it and lays around all day, not going downstairs to eat as she normally does. She also seems to hump her back when she walks. What could be causing this and what should I do?
