My 14-year-old Yorkie has kidney failure and is having trouble walking and getting up. The vet prescribed Tramadol, but it upsets her stomach and causes diarrhea. Is there anything else I can try to help her?

My rescue dog delivered pups in March 2013. She was emaciated and anemic, so we separated her from the pups and she never got to nurse them. It's now July, and she has two swollen bottom teats that look like brains and are painful. The teats sometimes drain blood and fluids. My vet has put her on three different rounds of antibiotics, which haven't helped. He suggested a mastectomy. What should I do?

My 5.5 month old 40lb lab ate approximately 200mg of allopurinol about 30 minutes ago. Should we give her hydrogen peroxide to make her throw up?

My 10-year-old, 90 lb., female yellow lab, Chloe, started having noticeable issues on July 10 when she vomited her dinner. Since then, she has been vomiting yellow, foamy bile, drinking lots of water, and refusing food. She was diagnosed with a bladder infection and given antibiotics, but couldn't keep them down. An X-ray revealed an enlarged liver and spleen, leading to a suspicion of cancer. Chloe was rehydrated and given anti-vomiting and pain medications, but she still isn't eating and continues to vomit her medicines. What could be causing her symptoms and what further tests or treatments should be considered?

My dog is on Frontline Plus, but it doesn't seem to be working. She is scratching her belly till it bleeds due to fleas and ticks. What else can I do for her to relieve her itching and prevent further infestation?
