My dog was given an oral flea medicine, Bravecto, 3 weeks ago and has not been the same since. He has completely stopped eating, and I've had to bring him for fluids multiple times. The vet did a liver bile acid test, and it's elevated at 35. They suggest an ultrasound to check for a liver shunt. I believe this is due to the medication. Is it possible the medication can cause liver damage, and should I be alarmed?

My large dog, Bunny, age 10, and possibly another dog, Jinks, age 11, got into a 13x9 glass pan of bar cookies (not chocolate) and ate them, leaving broken glass on the floor. We are unsure if they ingested any glass. No signs of bleeding or cuts on lips, gums, or tongue. What should we do to ensure their safety and health?

Can a dog have a heart transplant, and can a euthanized dog's heart be used if it is otherwise healthy?

My puppy, an 8-week-old mini dachshund, may have eaten half of a 1 mg Tizanidine tablet. She is a little constipated and has been lethargic, possibly due to tummy troubles. She vomited earlier and has shown slight improvement. What should I know about the potential effects of the Tizanidine and her current condition?

My dog chewed off the cap of a bottle of Denamarin and ate approximately 30 tablets. She weighs less than 20 lbs. Should I make her throw it up? Or take her to the emergency vet? She's acting fine (albeit very guilty) and was excited about eating her dinner before I found the destroyed bottle.
