I have 2 dogs who have lived together for the past 4 years. All of a sudden, they are attacking each other. One dog gets extremely anxious and begins to pant, while the other puts her ears back, so I immediately separate them. I tried a sedative to calm them down after one of their episodes, but this is only a short-term fix. Do you have any suggestions? Would a dog behaviorist have anything to offer in this type of situation? I really don't want to have to get rid of either dog. Any help would be appreciated.

My 6-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, weighing 12 lbs, was stung by a bee about 30 minutes ago. He is limping and constantly licking the area on his foot, but there is no visible stinger and no signs of a reaction. Should I give him Benadryl, and if so, how much?

Our 14-month-old female cattle dog and Labrador retriever mix was attacked by a wild animal near our mountain home. She is not eating, bleeding from the mouth, and is laying down more than usual. We suspect she may have internal injuries. How can we help her for the next 12 hours until we can take her to the veterinarian?
