My dog had her first dose of ondansetron this morning and within an hour experienced fecal incontinence that has continued for several hours. How long does this drug last, and when would it be completely cleared from her system?

I have a senior dog named Maia with chronic kidney disease. She ate too much snow, which caused her to shiver uncontrollably and pant heavily. The shivering has subsided, but she's still panting hard. What should I do, and is there anything specific I should watch for?

My dog, a 15-pound mix of a fox terrier and a long-haired dachshund, was sprayed with a hotspot spray on her feet this morning. When I woke up, her face and jaw were puffy. She ate but seems off. There are no available vet appointments in my area. What should I do?
