I'm having a flea problem with my dogs. I've used Frontline Plus, Comfortis, and Revolution, but I still find fleas on them every few days. I'm diligent about checking and combing them daily, but I'm not sure if the flea medications are working or if I'm just finding new fleas before they have a chance to die. Additionally, I found fleas in my home and at my parents' place, where the dogs spend time. What could be causing the flea medications to not work effectively, and what additional steps can I take to eliminate the fleas?

My chihuahua, Nino, has not eaten or drunk anything since yesterday, is showing subtle shaking in his rear body, and appears nervous. This morning, he jumped off the bed to go outside but stopped and went to his bed in the living room, and has not urinated after all night. I am worried about him.

My dog takes Quellin regularly and was recently prescribed prednisone for a reaction to a sulfa drug. The vet did not advise stopping Quellin, and I gave her both medications this morning. What effect will this combination have and what should I do?

My 6.5 lb 13-year-old toy poodle, Kayti, had oral surgery and was prescribed Metacam 1.5 mg/ml @ 0.2cc/ml once a day, along with Clavamox 2x daily. I accidentally gave her Metacam twice daily for the past 3 days. What should I do now?

My 1 year and 3-month-old pitbull, Zayn, has been experiencing severe trembling, gastrointestinal distress (vomiting, licking lips, pacing), and sensitivity in his hind quarters. He has had episodes of this behavior after vaccinations and during car rides. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should I take to address them?

My 7-year-old dog has stopped drinking water for the second day, but she ate food yesterday. She has never been sick and gets regular check-ups. Is she lethargic? Any vomiting, diarrhea, or coughing? Any other symptoms? Is she urinating?
