Our 11-year-old female dog has been experiencing bed wetting, increased thirst, lethargy, weight loss, and vomiting despite being given an antiemetic. She has undergone urinalysis, blood work, and a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test, which did not indicate Cushing's disease. She is scheduled for an abdominal ultrasound. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should be taken to diagnose and treat her condition?

I found a lump on the underside of my 8-year-old dog Gracie's nipple. The lump feels like a grape and is below the skin. Gracie is not spayed. What could this lump be and what should I do?

My dog, Poppy, a 5-year-old French bulldog, has been vomiting for hours, restless, and thirsty. She drinks but vomits shortly after. She's been up all night and has been like this since yesterday afternoon. She doesn't seem lethargic or feverish. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 6-year-old miniature poodle, Cody, crawled under the sofa and stayed there all day. When we lifted him out, he won't eat or drink, is shaking, has a slightly open mouth (unusual for him), and acted like he couldn't climb steps. He also stayed in the same position on the sofa for 30 minutes. What could be wrong with him?

I have a dog with diabetes. We bought eye drops (Flubiprofen Sodium Ophthalmic) to help delay his blindness. After using them for a month, his eyesight worsened and he started bumping into things. His eyes also look darker now. Could the medicine have an opposite effect? Should we stop the eye drops? Is there any treatment for blindness other than surgery and implant?

My 11-year-old dog, Snoopy, has Cushing's disease, has had two ACL surgeries on his rear legs, and is experiencing trouble due to arthritis and being overweight. He is on thyroid meds and phenobarb for seizures. Is it a problem for him to be on carprofen?
