My 80-pound labradoodle has been taking 300 mg of gabapentin every 12 hours for pain for the last 6 days. After the last pill, she became groggy and listless, and now she doesn't want to move or respond much. Is this dosage too high, should I stay up and monitor her, and is she in any danger? Should I give her the next dose in twelve hours, or can I stop the medication suddenly?

Pete, a 10-year-old dog, had an injection of hydromorphone, metacam, and lidocaine in his knee. He has been diagnosed with bone cancer, and his knee is broken. His ears are stuck in an erect position, his tongue is hanging out of his mouth, and he seems unable to move it. What additional information should the veterinarian know, and what should be done next?

I have an almost 11-year-old boxer named Taz who has recently started leaving unusually large pee puddles in the house when we are not looking. This is a new behavior for him, and he has never done this before. He has no other behavioral changes or appetite changes, but he has a few fatty tumors that have been checked and are fine. What could be causing this and what should I do?
