My 12-year-old yellow lab has tremors, her stools smell like strong ammonia, she is not eating or drinking, and she has been hiding in the bathroom and laundry room. My vet is closed. Is this a problem that warrants emergency vet attention or could I watch her until morning when my vet is open?

My labradoodle has many lumps that have been biopsied as benign oily glands, but more are developing and growing large (1/2 of tennis balls). What should I do about this?

Took my 4 lb very bony Yorkie for her rabies and DHP SHOTS YESTERDAY. She made a loud YIPE for one of the shots and now she can't walk and is in pain. What went wrong and what do I do?

My dog licks stonework and plaster statues in my home. Is this behavior indicative of a mineral deficiency?

Is there any substitution for naproxen or an anti-inflammatory for a 40-pound dog until my vet opens on Tuesday? My dog might have pulled a muscle or hurt her back.

I am taking care of a 15-16 year old miniature schnauzer with a large, oozing lesion on his shoulder, trembling, hard abdomen with fatty lumps, frequent whining and grunting, difficulty holding his bladder, anxiety, pacing, and disorientation. The owner has given consent for euthanasia if necessary. How do I assess whether it's time to euthanize him, considering his advanced age and the potential for improving his quality of life through veterinary care, which is financially challenging?
