Our Malshi (Lucy) is having poop problems. She hasn't had much of an appetite for the last two days, and she hasn't had a normal bowel movement in two days, only producing a stringy brown mucus thread today. She seems otherwise okay, with normal energy levels and no signs of distress. Should we be concerned?

I have an 8-year-old Lhasa terrier mix with swelling in his ear flaps. The swelling feels fluidy, and one ear has already reduced in size while the other has recently swelled up. There is no discharge, and he has been around other dogs for years. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My 14-year-old 7.9lb Chihuahua took a bad fall off her stairs and has been experiencing discomfort, coughing due to COPD flare-ups, and difficulty getting comfortable. She has been prescribed Medacam, Hycodan, and is scheduled to start Prednisone. Is there anything I can give her for pain or to drink to prevent dehydration before starting Prednisone?

My whippet is showing signs of being very sick, including lethargy, depression, weight loss, decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid/heavy breathing, constipation, bloated stomach, and timid hind leg walking. I've already spent $300 on vet visits, tests, and treatments, but the symptoms persist. I can't afford further tests and am unsure if the current vet is the right one. What should I do?
