I have a fourteen-year-old black lab with a history of allergies, pancreas problems, and valley fever. He is currently on Apoquel for his allergies, which seems to be working. However, I noticed that he was not as itchy when I forgot to give him Apoquel for about four days. Can he be given this medication as needed?

My neighbor accidentally ran over my dog, Dingo, with his truck. Dingo is moving fine but has red eyes and won't eat. We're snowed in and my vet is closed. I gave him Rimadyl, prescribed for my other dog, mixed with broth using a syringe. Dingo is about 3 years old, neutered, and has no known allergies. What should I do to help Dingo through the night until I can take him to the vet?

My dog Gypsy, who has a thyroid problem and is on Thyrosyn medication, has not eaten her food since Thursday night. She has been eating treats and attempted to eat another dog's food. I am concerned because I had a cat who didn't eat for a couple of days and eventually died. Should I be very concerned about my dog not eating, and what can I do to encourage her to eat?
