I have a 6 lb Yorkie named Reese, who is about 12 years old. Flea and tick products like Frontline Plus and Advantix cause him to lose control of his back legs. He also had a bad reaction to an oral flea/tick pill. What can I do to protect him from fleas and ticks without causing him to become crippled or harm him?

I think my dog has mouth cancer. He has a bloody cyst on the inside of his gum and is bleeding a lot. Can I give human ibuprofen or Tylenol for pain until his vet appointment on Tuesday?

My 7-year-old dog, Ozzy, is wimpering and crying for no visible reason. He seems to have behavioral changes, is picky with his appetite, growls under his breath, cries high-pitched wimpering noises, seems irritable, avoids playing with his sister, and his body temperature seems colder than normal. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 70-pound lab, Bo (8 years old), was accidentally given a double dose of Trazodone (200mg at 5 pm and another 200mg at 5:30). The prescription is for 200mg every 12 hours as needed for calming due to knee surgery. Should we watch him for symptoms at home or get him to a vet?

My dog, Lucky, is limping from a previous accident several years ago. He had his ball joint removed and was on Previcox. Does anything look different with his legs/feet, and can you prescribe Previcox for him?

My dog is chattering his teeth and is cool under his leg pits and paw pads. He recently had bilateral entropion surgery and is on gabapentin, cephlexin, and prednisone. He's 3 years old, 140lbs, and a bullmastiff male neutered. What could be causing the teeth chattering and how should I address it?
