I accidentally gave my dog, Tubbs, a double dose of Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg. He got 6 pills total, 3 at 4 pm and 3 at 5 pm. Tubbs weighs 78 lbs and is about 2.5 years old. He has not thrown up since eating the pills. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I do?

Chlorpheniramine has a wide safety margin, and it is generally safe to give more than the prescribed...

My 3-year-old pug has been scratching and has developed a rash. I noticed it on Saturday, and although a bath seemed to help temporarily, the rash has returned in another spot. She does not have fleas, and I've tried bathing her, using medicated wipes, and giving her Benadryl. There are no preexisting medical conditions. What should I do?

My dog, Harrison, age 3, has been experiencing a brown/pink discharge from his penis for the third time. The vet prescribed antibiotics twice, which helped temporarily, but the issue returns after he lays on the grass. The vet suspects bladder stones due to traces of crystals found in his urine. The dog's behavior, including energy levels, bathroom habits, play, and eating, remains normal. What should be the next steps to diagnose and address this issue?

My 6-year-old Chihuahua, Tucker, suddenly cannot balance himself to walk, responds strangely to sunlight, has unusual breathing, cannot hold his head up, and wants to lay down and sleep. He was fine last night but started showing these symptoms around lunchtime today. What should I do?

My 4 kg Maltese, Buddy, has a crucial ligament tendon damage in his knee. He was diagnosed yesterday and is on pain relief medication (meloxicam). Can I get some sort of strapping to help him from hobbling on three legs? Additionally, Buddy has a history of pancreatitis, diabetes, cataracts, and now this tendon damage.

My 10.5-month-old dog, Dakota, has been laying down and won't get up. She refused a treat and hasn't eaten today. She was given antibiotics and a steroid shot on 6/18 for itchy skin and hair loss on her inside back legs. She isn't scratching or biting like before, but she has lost two pounds between vet visits. What should I do?
