I have a 9-year-old diabetic Schnoodle who has been on Vetsulin. He recently had a UTI treated with Tribrissen, received a steroid shot for itching, and took Comfortis and Interceptor. After these treatments, he became lethargic, refused regular food, felt hot, and had a slightly elevated temperature. A blood panel showed issues with pH levels, thyroid, and liver. He is now on Denamarin, Amoxicillin, Tribrissen, DL Meth, thyroid medication, and Engard for his heart. Despite these treatments, he seems worse. I am concerned about the medications and their impact on his diabetes. What should I do?

My dog got into a plastic bag with treats last night and ate some of the bags along with the treats. There were several bags - a training treat sack, ziploc bags with dog biscuits, bully sticks, and chicken feet, all inside a plastic grocery bag. All the treats are gone, and all the bags are torn up into small pieces. I'm not sure how much plastic he ate, but he is not showing any symptoms other than shame. He weighs about 28-30 lbs. (Shiba Inu). Should I take him to an emergency vet?

My dog is on diethylstilbestrol (DES) for spay incontinence. She started 3-4 weeks ago with a dose of one a day for 5 days, then one a week. We missed last week's dose and gave her one today after an accident. Do I need to start over with one a day for five days, or just pick up the weekly dose?

My miniature schnauzer, Ellie, is yelping when picked up, favoring a back leg, and has vomited stringy yellow stuff twice. She hasn't eaten much since yesterday morning. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

How can I administer medications to my dog, Buddy, who has wounds on his face, side of his mouth, and neck, and is not eating due to pain? Can I dissolve the pills in water and give them to him using a syringe?
