My 10.5-year-old Golden Retriever, Clyde, has been unable to walk on his back right leg for the past three months. He is 15 lbs overweight and is on pain medication. I took him to the vet last week, but no radiographs were taken, and the vet did not mention hip surgery. What could be causing his lameness, and what steps should I take to help him?

My dog had diarrhea yesterday and vomited three times this morning. The first vomit had foam, and the next two were liquid but slimy. He ate table food from a restaurant (chicken with a little rice) mixed with his dog food yesterday. What should I do to treat the vomiting?

My dog, Kim, a 12-year-old 10lb dog, might have ingested a larger dose of her nighttime medicine, Gabapentin/Trazodone. She initially refused the medicine mixed with peanut butter (PB), and after thinking she hadn't taken any, we tried again and gave her a full dose. Now, she's shaking, disoriented, and her nose is dry. We're concerned she might have ingested some with the PB and now has too much medication. What should we do?

My dog, Pumpkin, a 14-16 lbs, 1-year-old dog, ate almost a whole small bag of candy, including 3 twizzlers with cream inside and around 10 chocolate kisses, about 30 minutes ago. She's acting fine so far, but I'm worried she might get worse. What should I do?
