My son's French Bulldog, Leon, has a swollen lower lip that is firm but not painful. The swelling occurred after traveling from DC to Texas and back, and the dog has had diarrhea with a bit of blood for the past few days. He also had a lack of appetite while in Texas and has been eating very little since then. What could be causing this and what should we do?

I brought an 8-week-old puppy named Mary home today after she received her vaccines yesterday. While in a parking lot, we noticed dog feces about 4-5 feet away, but Mary didn't walk through it, sniff it, or lick it. Should I be concerned about parvovirus?

My 15 and a half year old dog, Angie, was just diagnosed with pancreatitis and kidney failure. She has poor appetite and won't eat prescribed food. She is scheduled to be put to sleep tomorrow. I am feeling sad about this decision but think it is time. I am 83 and Angie was adopted from Pet Smart at one and a half. I need assurance that I am doing the right thing.
