My dog, Jack R, got into a tangle with a possum and has developed sores from scratches on her face and paw. She has been scratching and chewing the affected areas, and her eye on that side is also infected with white discharge. The vet won't be open until Monday. Should I consider this an emergency and get her to a clinic? Can I give her human Amoxicillin (250mg)?

My mini dachshund keeps peeing in the house, especially on soft surfaces, even after taking her outside. She has been doing well until the last couple of weeks, but now she pees in my bed and on the couch. I need to figure out how to stop this behavior or I may have to get rid of her.

I have a Miniature Schnauzer that keeps having random bouts of lethargy, eating very little, and vomiting 3 to 4 times a week. He drinks and pees well, but I'm worried about Lyme disease as I've picked two black-legged ticks off him in the last four months. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should be done?

My dog has started gulping and licking the floor and carpet, it's like he has something stuck in his throat and it's trying to swallow. This just started about a half hour ago. I checked his jowls and he doesn't have anything in his mouth. He is a Bassett mix.

My niece's 9lb. Bichon mix ate a small child's colored sock with stitching thread on Thanksgiving. The dog has not passed the sock and it has been 5 days. What are the potential risks and symptoms to watch for, and what should be done to ensure the dog's safety?
