We have just adopted a 6-year-old Dalmatian named Ollie from the RSPCA. He has settled well at home and is obedient, understanding commands like 'sit' and 'wait'.

My dog has eaten a single diuretic tablet, bendroflumethiazide. Is this dangerous apart from increased urination? Do I need to seek urgent vet help, make her vomit, or just monitor her? She did it about an hour ago.

I have a rescue dog that was covered in matts and recently underwent sedation for shaving. He has been lethargic, refusing to get up, and only taking in minimal water via syringe since the procedure. Is this normal, and what should I do?

My dog has been sneezing intermittently for 3 days, blowing air out of his nose, and now sounds congested. He couldn't bark until he cleared his throat, but he is quiet when resting or sleeping. What could be causing this and what should I do?
