My 17-year-old dog, Patsy, is on Enalapril for heart problems and has run out of her medication during the holiday. Can I give her low-dose aspirin, and how should I manage her condition until she can get her medication refilled?

Hi, my 9-week old golden retriever has had bloody stool twice in the last 24 hours. She had hookworm earlier this month, but she was treated and tested negative about a week ago. She’s been breathing rapidly in her sleep but it seems to slow down when she’s awake. Is this an emergency, or is it something that can wait until we see our vet on Tuesday?

I had 2 jars of Rimadyl in a bag that I travel with. I have 3 dogs. I came home and one of them chewed the top off of 2 of the jars and ate all of the pills. The pills were expired by 2 years. What should I do to ensure my dogs are safe?

My dog, Diesel, was bitten by another animal (possibly a dog or cat). The bite is not a big hole and is not bleeding. I have a pain pill left over from a previous prescription. Can I give it to Diesel if he seems to be in pain?

My female Syrian hamster, Pancake, over a year old, has a large lump and redness with pus under her chin. She is not acting normally and the area smells. What should I do until the vet is open in the morning?
