My female dog, Maggie, who is about 7 years old and never spayed, has a noticeable sack-like growth on her lower abdomen, more towards her back legs. The growth feels loose and separate from her body, and it doesn't seem to cause her pain. What could this growth be, and what should I do?

I have an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier who has developed Vestibular Disease. She still eats and goes to the bathroom. She hesitates walking down steps but still goes up steps fine. Her head tilts and she stumbles getting down from the sofa. What can I do to make her more comfortable?

My dog weighs 10.5 pounds and is very anemic. He has had diarrhea for about 4 months, and despite seeing two different vets, the cause remains unknown. The last vet mentioned he might not survive surgery if needed. His gums are white, and I suspect damage to his spleen or intestines from an accident. What can be done to help him, and can I give him human or children's vitamin D or B12 over-the-counter?

Bella is a 13-year-old Standard Poodle with Addison's disease and melanoma. She had a toe amputated, and the margins were slim. The treatment plan suggested radiation and the melanoma vaccine. Bella and I are a pet therapy team, and we decided to skip treatment for more good days. However, specialists suggested the vaccine due to minimal side effects. Is it worth trying to find a vet who will administer just the vaccine?
