My 11-year-old Boston Terrier has had a skin rash for a month and high alkaline levels in tests. Today, he has been walking with an arched back and yelped when I touched his right side below the rib cage. He is eating, drinking, and playing, but seemed labored when lifting his leg to urinate. Our vet in NYC put him on Chlorpheniramine 4 mg for the skin rash. What could be causing his symptoms and what should I do?

My Doberman may have ingested a square of mouse poison from a chewed-up and empty trap. We gave her hydrogen peroxide, but she hasn't vomited yet. What should we do next?

My pug, Isabella, woke up breathing heavily, coughing, sneezing, and licking her nose. She is also pacing around the house. I am used to her heavy breathing but this seems excessive. Any suggestions? Vets are closed now and I don't want to visit the ER if it's not needed.

My rescued dog has worms (small white/yellowish particles and small, white, moving worms in her stool). I started a deworming treatment with Safe-guard (fenbendazole). What type of worms does she have, and is this something me or my other dog can get? Should I quarantine her, and what further steps should I take?

I have a 4-5 pound Yorkie Peek-a-poo dog with a sore on his front leg/paw. The sore looks like an abscess and the dog has been walking on it. I can't afford an expensive ER visit and want to know what I can do at home to help my dog. What should I do and what should I look for to monitor the condition?

My dog has been vomiting since early Thursday morning after getting into garbage and licking grease drippings. He has a sensitive digestive system, a lot of gas, isn't eating or drinking, and hasn't had a bowel movement in the last 24 hours. What could be wrong and what should I do?
