My 17-month-old toy poodle, Hershey, is constipated and seems to be in pain. She has not had a bowel movement all day and has been trying to go for 7 minutes straight without success. She is panting and breathing hard. What should I do?

I accidentally gave my 4-year-old dog, Buddy, who weighs 23lbs, a 5mg dose of Focalin instead of his usual 25mg dose of Atarax. What should I do to ensure Buddy's safety and what symptoms should I watch out for?

Is it okay to inject the anti-inflammatory medication for 2-3 consecutive days for my dog, Frankie, who has an anal sac problem, and how long would it usually take for it to heal? Also, what are the signs of gastrointestinal upset from this medication, and should I continue giving him the oral medication if there's no more swelling or redness?

My dog, Kirby, a 10-month-old weighing 47 lbs, ate a standard dish sponge about 45 minutes ago. Should I try to make him vomit, and if so, how can I do it safely?

My 8-year-old Boston Terrier, Lola, bumped her eye on furniture yesterday. She isn't in pain, but her eye is slightly swollen and red, she blinks a lot, and has a lot of tears. She doesn't paw at it and it doesn't seem to bother her much. What should I do?

I gave my pregnant dog Simparica Trio about 2 days before breeding, and then 3 weeks ago, I gave her Quad Dewormer, which was thought to be safe but contained febantel, not recommended for pregnant dogs. Today is her approximate due date, and I have pyrantel on hand for the puppies when they are 2 weeks old. Should I give my bitch pyrantel today, or wait until 2 weeks after delivery? Additionally, I am concerned about potential developmental issues due to the two wormers I gave her. What are the risks associated with Simparica Trio and Quad Dewormer during pregnancy?
