My local dog vet diagnosed my 1.5-year-old male lab with hip dysplasia. The breeder insists on a diagnosis from a specific vet, Dr. xxxxx, and will only replace the dog if confirmed. Should I pay for another diagnosis, and what are the long-term effects of HD on the dog's hunting career and life? Should I ask the breeder to pay for half or all of the second diagnosis, and what should I do regarding keeping or returning the dog?

I have a Shih Tzu and noticed a small white pimple on his side near his leg. He seems happy and is acting normal, but I'm concerned about what it could be. What should I do?

My 11-year-old female lab cannot get up and cries when touched in her midsection. She barely managed to get up, whined when she moved a few steps, and then went down again. She won't drink water, and I'm unsure how to get her to a vet. What could be wrong with her other than just old age?
