My dog was diagnosed with Lyme disease and has a high C6 Quant test result of 150. She has no symptoms and her recent Heska Comprehensive Panel showed normal kidney values. Should I do a urine analysis before starting the Doxycycline treatment, or wait until after the 4-week course? Additionally, she was on Prednisone for three weeks, which we stopped 10 days ago, but she still has an increased appetite and has lost weight. Is her increased appetite related to the Prednisone, and should I increase her food intake to help her gain weight?

When the weather turned cold, my dog's ears started bleeding at the bottom, looking like they were chewed on. The bleeding began in the last few weeks after the weather turned cold. My dog is a JR mix and healthy otherwise. We adopted him and treated his ears last year, but they were fine all summer. I am thinking it might be some type of dryness associated with the weather. Is there any history of excessively chewing/licking the feet or tail base region? This history can help determine the issues affecting the ears.

There were 1mm clean margins and a head CT showed no other pathology. How is this diagnosis managed from this point on and what is the prognosis of teg adenocarcinoma?

My husky, Max, is very sick and experiencing difficulty walking straight, turning his head, and is in a lot of pain. I suspect an inner ear infection. Is it safe to give him crushed Aleve for pain until I can bring him to the vet tomorrow morning?
