My 14-year-old Australian Shepherd, Buster, is off balance, sometimes falls over, and shakes his head several times a day. I suspect he has an inner ear infection and it's been going on for a couple of weeks. He also had a fall down the stairs around the time his symptoms started. What should I do?

My dog, Puff, was diagnosed with ketoacidosis diabetes on 9/29/21. I started giving her insulin, and on 10/1, the vet put a FreeStyle Libre on her. On 10/11, they checked her glucose and adjusted the insulin dose. On 10/25, they only checked her glucose with the FreeStyle Libre and did not provide any information about her condition. I think she is going blind. What should I do next?

My dog, Luna, a 3 1/2-year-old black lab weighing 60 lbs, ate a large bag of Twizzlers, sour gummies, a bag of espresso (not much consumed), and small glazed donut sticks about 2 hours ago. She has not shown any symptoms yet. What should I do?

My dog ingested 900mg or less of children’s chewable ibuprofen. She weighs 15lbs and I gave her 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. She’s acting normal. What should I do next?

I’m keeping my sister's Golden Doodle, Lila, who weighs about 70 pounds. She just ate 2 chocolate cookies (not too large, not very chocolate, no chocolate chips) about an hour ago. She is not throwing up and is acting fine. What should I do?

My dog, Dina, a pit bull approximately 8 years old, hurt her paw yesterday and is limping. The pinky/outer toe is swollen. She was fixed in March and had a tumor removed, and didn't do well with the anesthesia. She was sleepy, breathing fast for a long time, and wouldn't eat or drink after the procedure. She puts weight on the injured leg if needed but otherwise limps and holds it up. How should I manage her condition until she can see the vet next week?
