Our 18 lb Brussels Griffon, Baker, aged 10 1/2 years, was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome after an ultrasound showed enlarged adrenals and liver, and blood work indicated elevated ALP levels. He has a pot belly and pants often when temperatures exceed 65 degrees. He has been on Hills Metabolic food for 5 months but dislikes it. I am seeking natural supplements and nutritional treatment options rather than medication due to potential side effects. What holistic remedies and nutritional strategies can help manage Baker's Cushing syndrome?

My dog, a 1-year-old Queensland Heeler named Thea, has been vomiting and oozing stool for three days. Her anus is very red, and she has a sensitive stomach. She has refused food and water for the last three days, and even vomited up Pepto Bismol and Zofran. What should I do?

My 13 1/2 year old German Shepherd, Rocky, developed a sudden mass on the side of his face/neck. He had a Heartgard chew today and has been very sad since February when I lost my other shepherd at age 10 to sepsis from a perforated intestine. He is eating, voiding, and has normal bowel movements. His hip dysplasia has increased in the past few months. What could this mass be, and what should I do?
