My 10-year-old female cocker spaniel was put down a few weeks ago. Prior to her sudden demise, she was never sick, had yearly exams, and had recently had a complete exam, x-rays, and blood work. She suddenly became weak in her rear legs, progressing rapidly to the entire body, and had to be lifted to go anywhere. She cried when lifted. She went to the vet, got pain and antibiotic medications, and was finally referred to the local critical care hospital. They did the same thing and finally gave her a cortisone shot. She had to be put down on the 5th day. There seemed to be no answer to her problems. Two days prior to all of this, she was given a Sentinel tablet for heartworms. She has taken heartworm pills in the past with no problems. Any ideas as to what might have happened? She obviously lost her appetite too.

My one-year-old Shih Tzu is tail chasing and in pain around his rear end. He recently had his anal glands cleared at the dog beauty shop. He is not eating and is clearly unhappy. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I need help with my English Bulldog, who is 6 years old. He has been frequently sick, laying around, and has a rashy skin condition. His paws appear foundered, and his ears often have infections. A biopsy of an ear spot showed mast cells, likely from inflammation. His lymph nodes in the hind legs are enlarged, also due to inflammation. He is losing weight, has a bad smell, and his paw cushions have fallen off, making it difficult for him to walk. What could be causing these issues and what can be done to help him?

I have an 11-year-old female dog with a softball-sized cyst hanging from her side. I need a mobile vet to perform surgery. Is there anyone locally in Inverness, FL, who can do this procedure? If necessary, I will take her in for surgery if someone can come and examine her first.
