My 8-week-old puppy, Bunker, ate a laxative (Surfak) 15 minutes ago. He is tiny, weighing only 2 lbs, and did not eat the whole pill, just about 3/4 of an 8.6 mg Sennosides pill. What should I do, and will he be okay?

Our six-year-old border collie, Roxy, who wears a brace for an ACL tear, has been experiencing bouts of pain, increased water intake and urination, and behavioral changes such as pacing and decreased play. She has been eating and pooping fine, and there is no apparent discomfort when her bad leg is touched. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should be conducted to diagnose the issue?

My corgi is in labor and has had a tail of a puppy out for about an hour. The placenta broke a long time ago, so I'm sure it is dead. We are trying to get it out. We are too far from a vet's office, over 100 miles away. She is a very small corgi. What should I do?

My 55lb dog has been on Amitriptyline 50 mg in the morning and 25mg in the evening for 15 months due to extreme anxiety. She improved but still had some anxiety, so her morning dose went to 50mg. She is now doing great and has been for several months. Is it safe to cut her dose back to 25 mg twice daily?
