Our 6-year-old pitbull, Rocco, had a mast cell tumor removed two weeks ago, and since then, he has developed hundreds of hives on his body. The vet has given him a prognosis of 6-12 months, but Rocco is still energetic and has gained weight. Could the hives be a reaction to the tumor removal rather than a sign of advanced cancer, and what holistic or medical approaches could help manage his condition?

My dachshund is very afraid to have his nails trimmed and he’s in recovery from IVDD. What’s recommended at this point to safely trim his nails without causing stress or risk of injury?

My dog, Buttons, a 4-year-old Corgi, is hiding and avoiding me. She was fine after a grooming session but started hiding under my desk. She scooted her butt on the floor a couple of weeks ago, which was diagnosed as anal gland issues and expressed. Today, she wouldn't eat or drink until hand-fed and was scooting again, snapping at her back feet as if trying to reach her rear end. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?

My 1 month and 3 weeks old Cocker Spaniel female, Aria, fell from a bed about 80-90 cm high. She cried for about 20 seconds after the fall but has been acting normally since, eating, playing, and sleeping well. I'm concerned about the possibility of internal injuries. What should I look out for and is it necessary to take her to a vet?

My dog, Lucky, a 13-year-old mix of beagle and dalmatian, is having difficulty keeping his head up. He had a severe fall years ago that caused a pinched nerve but fully recovered. Recently, he has been trembling and his hind legs seem weaker. He had an anti-inflammatory medication a year ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?
