I have a 65 lb coon hound mix named Otis who won't let me cut his nails. The local VCA wants $850 to sedate him for nail cutting, which I cannot afford. How can I safely and affordably trim Otis's nails at home, considering he has had a rough life and is currently on Prozac?

I have a dog with epilepsy who is taking phenobarbital at 64.8 mg twice a day. I accidentally gave her double the dose for a total of 4 days. Should I take her to the emergency room? Do you think she will suffer an overdose? If the emergency room is not necessary, do I just proceed with her regular dose or do I have to wean her off slowly until we reach her normal dose? She is a pitbull mastiff lab mix and weighs about 75 pounds. She is also on zonisamide at 200 mg per day and Potassium bromide at 4 mL twice daily.
