I have a 24kg mixed breed dog named Champion from Burma. I have two 10ml bottles of ivermectin from the local vet. We calculated a 1.5ml dose for him. Is this correct, and should I taper up daily? Also, what should I do if Champion shows side effects or if the mange seems to be going away?

The correct initial dose for Champion is 0.24ml (0.1 mg/kg) daily for 3 days, then increase to 0.48m...

My 10-month-old Mini Poodle ate about 10-20 tiny Arnica pills, which are meant for adults and contain 6C 12pl each. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

My medium-sized dog ate a granola bar with nuts last night and is now making frequent snorting, coughing sounds. She hasn't thrown it up yet. Should I take her to the vet?

My Kelpie ate a bone that I think was a little off and now he is vomiting, drinking a lot of water but even bringing his water up. How long has it been since he ate the bone? What type of bone was it? How much does he weigh?

I have a 4-year-old Yorkie mix who didn't sleep last night, was dragging his butt on the carpet, and scratching at his back end. He was prescribed prednisone and an ointment by the vet, but since coming home, he has been panting, shaking, and not resting well. He hasn't had a bowel movement and seems reluctant to go outside. Should I be concerned and take him back to the vet?

Our 13-year-old dog has recently developed epilepsy. She had a seizure last week, and now her back legs will go out from under her at different times, and she has difficulty getting up after lying down. She is on Phenobarb, as well as heart medicine and thyroid meds. Her labs are all fine, but she doesn't show hind leg problems when excited at the vet. What could be causing her back leg issues and what can be done to help her?
