My 13-year-old Yorkie suffers from colitis. She has had antibiotics and her stool sample showed nothing. The vet recommended Royal Canine Sensitivity, but she refuses to eat it and will go without food rather than eat it. I've tried fish and rice, and chicken and rice, but she still has episodes of very loose stool. What food can I give her?

My 19-pound dog accidentally ingested my naproxen 500 mg. I have made him throw up. Is this toxic?

My dog had surgery last night after being attacked by another dog, resulting in a large incision around her throat. She won't eat or drink, and I need to get antibiotics and pain relief tablets into her. What can I do to administer the medication effectively?

My 18-year-old Samoyed has been experiencing episodes of confusion and weakness, similar to transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), about every 5 months for the past year. Recently, she had a severe episode but recovered the next day. I'm concerned about her suffering during these episodes and am leaving for a 10-day trip soon. Should I medicate her or leave her with a caregiver, and what should I do if another episode occurs while I'm away?

My 5-year-old dog's leg (possibly hip) seems to be hurting him. He is not crying or whimpering, can walk without limping but slowly, and leans to one hip when sitting. He is generally slow to move but will walk if called. What can I give him for pain until I can take him to the vet on Monday?

I have a year-old Austrian mix who is lethargic, not coming out of his cage, vomiting, and having diarrhea for the past 3 days. He has been eating his food and the new puppy's food out of jealousy. The puppy is vaccinated, but my older dog is not. What could be causing this and what should I do?
