My 110 lb, 9-year-old German Shepherd is on 20 mg Prednisone for a fungal skin infection. She has arthritis and is noticeably uncomfortable without Carprofen (cannot be taken together - I understand that). Can I give her coated enteric aspirin or some other over-the-counter pain reliever? How much? I could ask my vet but thought a second opinion might be helpful.

My dog has a swollen and red dew claw and keeps licking it. What can I do to help her, and are there any over-the-counter antibiotics I could use?

My dog was recently diagnosed with borderline heartworms. The vet suggested a slow kill method, which isn't recommended. What can I do to treat my dog effectively and keep him calm during treatment, as he is a hyperactive husky?

My 14-week-old bulldog has lumps on his skin that vary in size and feel almost like a waterbed. Some are flaky, and he had issues with fleas. The lumps have been getting bigger. What could these lumps be and what should I do?

Our dog is 11 and has been experiencing hip issues, now unable to stand or move his hind legs and is in pain. Can I give him my tramadol to dull his pain until we can get him to the vet tomorrow? He weighs 80-90 lbs and I'm unsure of the correct dosage.

My 9-month-old dog has been retching as though he was going to be sick, but nothing comes up. I checked his mouth, and there's nothing there. He's eating, drinking, and behaving normally otherwise. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
