My dog was neutered and the vet clinic failed to inform me about external stitches. The incision site is now infected with pus, and my dog is in pain and cannot bear to be touched. I have an E collar and medication for pain and antibiotics. Should I give a double dose of medication, try to reach my vet, or wait until Monday?

Rusty, a 17 lb male Rat Terrier who has been going senile, started coughing loudly and frequently. The vet diagnosed a trachea issue and prescribed Torbutrol and Temaril-P. However, Rusty is now exhibiting hyperactive behavior, whining, and barking non-stop. I gave him Benadryl, which had no effect. Is it safe to give him Diazepam, and are there any interactions with his current medications?

My rottweiler may have eaten a penny yesterday. The vet is closed today, and I don't have money for an x-ray. He was recently diagnosed with a tumor in his spine and is home and can hardly get around. Do you think he could pass the penny on his own? What should I watch for, and what would you suggest I do at this point?

My lab, Keisha, is shaking her head and favoring one side. I noticed a small red rash inside her ear and it feels thicker. There's no abnormal smell. What could be causing this and what should I do?
