I recently purchased two boxer puppies that were diagnosed with Giardia and are being treated with metronidazole. After losing my beloved boxer a month ago, I am hesitant to take these puppies back but don't want to make a rash decision. What should I do to ensure they are fully treated and safe to bring home?

My dog just gave birth and has a prolapsed vagina-uterus. I won't be able to get her to a vet until tomorrow. What can I do for her now - she doesn't seem to be in pain and is taking care of the pups?

My dog has an infection on her eye, which is slightly swollen. I don't know what to do or what I can put on her eye to help. Can you provide any advice?

My golden retriever suddenly can't put weight on her left rear leg and has difficulty walking. She has been sleeping a lot since coming in from outside and shows no signs of pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a 10-year-old Jack Russell cross who hasn't eaten since April 5th and is showing signs of discomfort such as unsteadiness, reluctance to move, staring, and being very quiet. I gave her a cooked bacon bone on April 4th and fear a piece may be lodged inside her. Is there anything I can give her to help her bowels move?

How do you know when it is time to end a dog's life? Our black lab is just shy of 13 years old and has been diagnosed with kidney disease for 2 years. Lately, she shows all of the symptoms of the final stages of the disease; weight loss, lethargy, blood work shows high levels of BUN and anemia. She doesn't appear to be in any pain. She has been on an IV at the animal hospital for a little over a day and has shown only minor improvement. We are not sure how to proceed.
