Hello, my friend's 13-year-old dog is underweight despite laying around all day. She mainly eats human food like chicken, hamburger, rice, and gravy, but not dog food. She has growths on her leg and belly, hemorrhoids, and difficulty walking. When people come over, she becomes more energetic. The vet suggested a year ago that testing could be risky due to her age. What could be causing these issues and what are the signs that it might be time to consider euthanasia?

My dog, Simba, ate used hot hands and is now vomiting. I'm not sure how much he ate, but he weighs around 6 lbs. He is 8 months old. What should I do to help him?

We have a 1.5-year-old Llewellyn setter named Indy. She keeps licking her back two teats a lot, and they look a little swollen compared to the others. She was just at the vet for her shots, and they didn’t seem concerned, but she wasn’t licking as much as she does now. She had her last heat cycle in August and hasn’t been spayed. What could be causing this issue, and what should we do?

Our 7-year-old dog, Lucky, has been coughing/gagging frequently for a few months. We've tried antibiotics and steroids, but they haven't worked. An x-ray, blood work, and urinary analysis showed no abnormalities. His cough has worsened, but his mood and appetite remain unchanged. What could be causing his cough, and what should we do next?

My 6-month-old mini poodle, Beau, is wobbling, barely able to stand, lethargic, and has lost his usual energetic personality. He threw up thick bile but has not eaten or drunk water since. He was neutered on March 9th, and his incision area looks fine. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?
