My 14-year-old dog was sluggish today. I received a call saying she wouldn't get up, peed herself, had funny breathing, and wouldn't eat or drink much. When I got home, I managed to get her up for a second, and she drank a lot of water. I fed her some mashed potatoes, and her stomach seems hard. I gently pushed on it, and she didn't seem to have pain. What can she have at home for pain relief if she does have pain, and what could be wrong with her?

I have an 8-month-old Pug who pees in her crate/kennel every time I put her in it. I've tried using a small crate and removing all bedding, but she still does it. I also bought a larger wire kennel where she loves to play and doesn't pee until we leave her. How can I stop her from peeing in the crate?

My two German Shepherd females got into a massive fight. One of them has a swollen paw and is limping badly. Can I give her anything for pain? I plan to wrap it gently and call the vet today, but I have to work and don't want her to be in pain.

My 6-month-old German Shepherd, Sophie, is shedding heavily and has scabbed sores under her arms. She is an indoor dog with daily outdoor time for about 2 hours. What should I do to address her shedding and sores?
