I have a rescue dog named Sky who tested positive for heartworm, but the larvae were not found in his blood and he doesn't exhibit any symptoms.

My pit bull/German shepherd mix puppy, Danno, has pink eye in one eye. He's not pawing at his eyes and is acting normally. Are there over-the-counter medicines I can use for him, and is it safe to use human saline solution like contact solution in his eyes?

I found one of my prescription capsules, Diltiazem HCL ER 240MG, that my dog, Carli (about 1 year old and 25 lbs), was playing with. Will this drug hurt her?

My Maltipoo might have eaten a raisin in a piece of cookie. Not sure if she actually ate it. Should I be worried, and is there anything else the Veterinarian should be aware of about the dog?
