My toy Shih Tzu (8.5 lbs, 3 yrs old) has had a runny nose for a long time, constant sneezing, and cloudy or pale green mucus from her left nostril with a terrible odor. She also scratches her ears more, rubs her face on the ground, and licks her paws. The vet prescribed Claritin for allergies, but it hasn't helped, and her breathing sounds more labored with it. What could be causing this, and what tests or treatments are recommended?

One of my Miniature Schnauzers has pulmonary hypertension and is on sildenafil 10mg every 8 hours. The other Mini Schnauzer is on 25mg Hydroxyzine 2 times a day. I accidentally switched their medications. Both dogs are around 20-23 pounds. Will the Schnauzer without pulmonary hypertension be okay with one dose of 10mg sildenafil? And will the dog with pulmonary hypertension be okay with one dose of 25mg hydroxyzine?

My 16 1/2-year-old Jack Russell male, Cozmo, has been experiencing a rectal prolapse that seems to come and go. He appears to be in discomfort when using the restroom but is otherwise fine. Given his advanced age, we want to avoid extensive treatment and ensure his comfort. What advice can you provide, and should we consider euthanasia if necessary?

We just got a 2-month-old English bulldog puppy named Rex. He was having diarrhea, and now we found blood in his stool. He is eating well and has had vaccinations, but we don't know what kind. What could be causing this and what should we do?

Our vet's office has been closed due to weather since Saturday. My 13-year-old lab, Akoni, who has cancer and severe arthritis, needs his medication (alprazolam) that is due tomorrow. He takes it twice a day. How can we get the medication without a script or call-in to the pharmacy?
