I just got a 9-10 year old dog from a family member. Her nails are very long and click on the floor, making her walk slowly. I'm concerned about cutting them because I've read about the quick being too long. What's the best way to safely trim her nails, and is it possible to sedate her for this?

My 10-11 year old Jack Russell, Daisy, has been yelping in pain when she gets up, showing signs of pain in her lower body (possibly stomach or hip joints), is very clingy, and sleeps a lot. She eats and goes to the bathroom normally. What could be causing her pain and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Vera, has a red sore/raised bump on her belly. She is 5 years old and healthy, but the sore doesn't seem to bother her. How long has it been there, is it changing in size, and what should I do to treat it?

My dog ate wild turkey poop while we are on vacation in Colorado. I am worried he might get sick, especially since he has IBS and Chiari malformation. Should I be concerned about Cryptococcosis or Histoplasmosis?

My ten-pound minpin, Carson, threw up liquid last night and again this morning. He didn't eat his breakfast, which is unusual for him, and he hasn't played with our other dog. What should I do?
