Parvo

I have a soon to be 16 year old Silky Terrier and he has over the last year developed some kind of nasal congestion. I've taken him to the vet and he's had all kinds of pills and shots but I know long term use can be harmful. The strange thing is that he only gets this nasal congestion in my bedroom...

Discharge
Once in awhile Laney would excrete this brown discharge that would smell very fishy. It's quite unbearable. She's spayed and is 1.5 yrs old. Is this something I should worry about?

moser arco...horse AND dog?
This might sound stupid, but here goes. I heard great thing about the Moser Arco clipper and can only buy it locally at a equine tack shop. Would this be the exact thing as those for dogs? Thanks Or should I just go with the Laube Speed Feed?

kennel cough
So, Tootsie has kennel cough and I was wondering if this makes her eat less. I give her a cup a day and she is only eating about half. She is drinking water, but she is a little lethagic. Is this a normal side effect?[ ]
