Our dog, Chubbers, a nine-year-old, climbed onto the chair with me, curled up, and laid down in the corner but is shaking with every breath. He appears to be lethargic. What could be causing this and what should we do?

My blue Heeler has a node under the left front arm pit. She had a run-in with an American Bull Dog and is now limping on her left front paw area where her humerus and ulna bones come together above the joints. There is a wound on the upper part of the left leg that has been treated with purple pet medication, but there is also swelling underneath the arm pit. What should I do?

Hi. So my chiweenie has not peed or pooped today. Is she straining like she needs to go? How many hours since you saw urine and feces? Were they normal then? Any retching, gagging, lip licking, drooling, or vomiting? Are her gums pink or white/pale? Moist or sticky? If you press on her belly, any tensing, tenderness, discomfort, or pain?

My female dog is bleeding daily, whereas it used to be just a couple of days a month. She has a good appetite and seems very energetic. She has not been neutered. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-year-old dog has diabetes, cataracts, and recently had his teeth cleaned. We are considering cataract surgery to improve his quality of life, but I am concerned about the potential complications and whether he will cope well with the procedure. Would you recommend the surgery for a dog with his condition?

My 11-year-old cat is dying of kidney failure. I can't afford euthanasia, and I'm worried about his pain and how his passing will affect his brother and mother. What can I do to ease his suffering and help my other cats cope with the loss?
