I forgot to give my 6-year-old Shih Tzu Maltese mix, Cash, his heartworm and tick and flea medications at the beginning of August. I'm in the South Shore of Boston where mosquitos are bad, and he regularly walks in parks and by the beach. Should I be concerned, and what should I do now?

My dog came back from exploring, panting heavily, and has since vomited four times and had two liquid bowel movements. She is not her usual happy self and has no interest in food. What should I do?

I have 5-week-old puppies that have been on Eukanuba lamb/rice for a week and are now experiencing very loose stools. The vet checked the stool sample and found no parasites, and they are not on any new medications. They are active and healthy otherwise. What could be causing the loose stools and what can I do to help them?

Is it more difficult to care for dogs today than it was 20 years ago, considering the increased worries and management needs for maintaining their health and activity levels?

My 7-year-old German Shepherd had to get her anal sacs expressed last week, which she has never had a problem with before. The vet prescribed Clindamycin, Ketoconazole, and Atopica, but since starting these medications, she has become sicker, showing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. I am concerned about the appropriateness of these medications and whether they are typical for treating anal sac issues. Should I stop giving her the medicine, and what should I do next?
