I am taking care of my daughter's dog, Bezi, who is 5 years old. He was attacked by another dog and had surgery to repair a ripped skin on his thigh and has several puncture wounds. He is currently wearing a cone and taking 100 mg Trazadone 2x per day, 500 mg Carprofen 2x per day, and 375 mg Amoxicillin Clavulanate 2x per day. After 3 days, he has started shaking his head violently. I'm unsure if this is due to the cone or the medication. What should I do?

We have a 7-month-old mixed-breed rescue dog named Louie who has had loose bowels for 4.5 months despite trying various treatments, including metronidazole, Simplicef, and Proviable Forte sprinkle. His bowel movements return to being loose or watery when these treatments are stopped. He is also on a prescription diet (HillsFarm Digestive Care i/d). What could be causing this issue and are there any alternative treatments, including herbal or natural remedies, that could help?

My 40 lb dog chewed on a Tomcat rat poison box containing 0.01% bromethalin. I'm concerned about potential toxicity, especially since she didn't vomit and I'm unsure if she ingested any of the poison. What should I do?

My 6-year-old, 40-kilogram Pitbull named Toro ate 18 dental sticks and is now experiencing diarrhea. He has had diarrhea five times since morning and has not vomited except once 12 hours ago. He is behaving normally and is active. Should I wait to see if he heals or rush to the vet?

We adopted a 10-month-old dog named Guapita, whose vaccination status is unclear. Blood work showed low white blood cells, and the vet suspected a past tick bite, prescribing doxycycline. However, the dog refused to eat while on the antibiotic, so it was stopped. Now, the dog is regaining appetite but remains housebound until blood work improves. What should we do about the possible tick bite, and when can we start the vaccination process?
