I need to take my dog on an airplane and need something to calm her for the flight. My dog, Cammie, is a Maltese weighing 13 lbs and is 7-8 years old. She has never been in a carrier before, and this is an emergency trip. She is healthy and not currently on any medications. What over-the-counter calming medications can I use, and what dosage should I give her for a 4.5-hour flight?

I adopted a male dog 3 weeks ago who is approximately 3 years old and was neutered 4 weeks ago. He has been experiencing incontinence, leaking urine while resting or sleeping, and sometimes while walking. He is fully housetrained and pees outside normally, but the stream is uncontrolled. His incontinence doesn't seem related to excitement. Could this be related to the neutering, and what other symptoms should I watch for?

My dog, a 6-year-old lab/pit mix named Lucky, suddenly started shaking, fell down, lost control of his leg movements, had dilated eyes, was drooling, smiling, and breathing heavily. This has never happened before. Additionally, there was bright yellow vomit on my carpet yesterday morning. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog ate rat poison and has vomited five times. It's late at night and I can't go to the vet until morning. What should I do to help my dog at home until I can take him to the vet?

My 19-month-old Maltipoo, Bowie, ate macadamia nuts and is showing signs of weakness in his legs and slight limping. He was seen by a vet who said he is clinically fine and received supportive care. However, he is still not walking normally and I'm concerned about when he will recover fully. Are there any risks of permanent damage, and should I monitor him closely?
