My 13-year-old female beagle, Tootie, has been declining due to a stroke. She vomited last night, cannot stand without assistance, refuses to eat or drink, and has not had bowel movements or urinated since then. My vet is out of town, and I couldn't get an appointment elsewhere. I have phenobarbital prescribed for seizures. Could I use this to euthanize her, and if so, how much?

My dog attacked the Ortho Weed B Gon nozzle while I was spraying. I don't think she got much, if any, but I am concerned that she might have gotten a little bit in her mouth. What should I do?

My dog, Meatball, chewed on a battery but did not swallow it. The battery punctured, and there is a red mark on her tongue. The vet advised flushing her mouth with water and monitoring her. Is there anything else I can do?

My Chihuahua, Tinkerbella, is shaking a lot, walking backwards, and acting unusually depressed and unable to jump. She has been like this for about two weeks and it has progressively worsened. She whimpers when picked up and has started shaking and walking backwards today. She hasn't vomited or had diarrhea, and her eating and drinking habits seem normal. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My 14-week-old Chihuahua, Karman, has demodex and is scratching all over her face, legs, and stomach. She was given Bravecto by the vet but I forgot to ask about using Benadryl. Can I use Benadryl to help with her itching?

I recently took my healthy 14-year-old basset hound, Penny, for a check-up and the vet prescribed furosemide and enalapril. In the past three weeks, Penny has lost 4 lbs, her appetite, her strength, and has developed bloody diarrhea. She also does not drink any water. Can I safely stop these medications immediately?
