I accidentally gave my dog an extra dose of Tramadol. Each tablet is 50 mg, and she is supposed to receive 3 tablets twice a day. I gave her a third dose. She weighs 69 pounds and is breathing heavier than usual but is sleeping. Do I need to do anything else to help her? How long will it take for the extra dose to be out of her system?

My 7-month-old dog, Sophie, who was spayed at 2-3 months, has a swollen vagina. She has been licking it, but not excessively, and the swelling has been present for a couple of days. She urinates more than usual but isn't asking to go out more often or having accidents. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?

Our dog, Cali, is 3 years old and had an epileptic seizure 3 days ago. She has had three seizures in the last 8 months, with the last one being 3 months ago. The seizure lasted about 3 to 4 minutes, and she still isn't back to normal after 3 days. How long does it typically take for a dog to recover from a seizure, and what should we do if the recovery period is prolonged?

My 5-year-old toy poodle, Brick, has been experiencing lack of appetite, diarrhea, panting, and clinginess over the past 24 hours. He had a dead bird in his mouth recently and is not drinking from his bowl but will lick water from my finger. He has had one small spot of bile and faint gurgling sounds from his stomach. What could be wrong and what should I do?

I have a two-week-old English coonhound, Suzy, who is the runt of the litter and weighs 14 oz. Her littermates are over 2 pounds, and she has been bottle-fed with a commercial milk replacer. Recently, she has shown a decreased appetite and prefers to snuggle rather than eat. Should I try giving her sugar water or Karo syrup to stimulate her appetite, and is it safe to switch to a homemade puppy milk with evaporated milk, egg yolk, and yogurt?
