My dog, Tenshi, had cataract surgery on November 17, 2020, and was diagnosed with a detached retina during a follow-up on December 31. We were referred to a specialist in Southern California for retinal reattachment surgery, which has a quoted cost of $7471.55. We have pet insurance but are concerned about the high cost. What is Tenshi's quality of life if we do not proceed with the surgery, and will she experience pain if she goes blind? Additionally, what are the implications and treatments for glaucoma, which Tenshi might develop?

My cockapoo is having trouble walking, laying down all day, and is hesitant to stand. She trembles and cries when carried up and downstairs. Her appetite has decreased, and she turned away from her food. She had a similar issue a few months ago that was treated as muscle tension. What could be causing her current symptoms and what should I do?

I have two female French Bulldog puppies, Pearl and Ruby, who have been exhibiting food aggression for a couple of months. They become aggressive as soon as they hear their food bowls or the food door opens. We've tried removing their food bowls and taking them outside after eating, but they still want to fight. What can be done to address this food aggression?
