My dog, Bodhi, an 8-month-old approximately 50-pound dog, ate an unknown number of generic Claritin (loratidine) tablets from my purse. What should I do and what information is important for the veterinarian to know?

My 10-year-old boxer, who is allergic to wheat, got into some cookies and may have eaten small glass shards from a broken plate. She is lethargic and not her usual self. What should I do to help her pass the glass safely and when should I be concerned enough to take her to the vet?

I have a 9-year-old Pomeranian/Miniature Pinscher mix named Zaydee. She started having trouble getting around two days ago, limping and walking slowly. She has her tail up and runs to the front door to bark only once or twice, but mostly has her tail tucked down, walks with her head low, and stays in bed. If I try to pick her up, she cries and screams as if in pain. She's still drinking water and eating canned food mixed with rice once a day, but hasn't eaten dry food since then. Could it be arthritis or is she in terrible pain?

My 10.5-month-old non-neutered Rottweiler named Angus has blood dripping from his penis. He is otherwise healthy, but this morning he spit up a bit of water and some food, though he ate lunch with no problems. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Sade, a 6-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, has a major tantrum when I try to clip her nails. I take her to the vet every 6 months where she is tranquilized for the procedure. I want to do it myself if I can find a safe tranquilizer. Do you have any suggestions?
