Our 13-year-old female Sheltie, Bella, has a tumor near her spleen, is lethargic, not eating or drinking, and has labored breathing. We are scheduled to euthanize her on Monday morning. Am I causing her harm by waiting until then, and can she be expected to be okay for 36-40 hours without food or water?

My dog, Porkchop, is in the final stage of CHF with a breathing rate of over 100 breaths per minute. He has been diagnosed with CHF for 15 months and is on medications including Furosemide, Benazapril, and Vetmedin. He is not interested in eating or drinking, is laying down panting, and has pinkish gums. His breathing is very labored, and his cheeks puff out when he breathes. What should we do to manage his condition and minimize his suffering?

My dog, Phoebe, a 2-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd, may have injured her face while playing with a ball. She whines when I touch below her ear by her jaw and keeps shaking her ears. She seems tired and had a little trouble swallowing after eating or drinking. There are no external wounds or swelling. What could be causing her discomfort and what should I do?

I gave my 12-year-old Schipperke, Max, 2 tablespoons of anti-diarrhea medication instead of 2 teaspoons. He has been uncomfortable with loose/runny stools for the past two days. He eats sensitive stomach food from the vet and hasn't eaten anything unusual. What should I do to help him recover?
