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?

Our 2-year-old Stafford mix female dog, June, hasn't been feeling well for about 3 days, has not been eating as usual, and has been shaking. She vomited twice this morning and continues to shake. We recently changed her food to puppy food from Costco, which caused diarrhea, and have since switched her back to her regular food. Is this a life-threatening situation, or can we wait until our veterinary clinic opens?

My 7-year-old dog just ate a Co Q10 supplement containing Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol 5IU) and coenzyme Q10 (50mg), along with breaking open a fish oil capsule. Should I be concerned about any adverse effects?

My dog is supposed to take one 25 mg tab of Proin every 12 hours. I ran out of the tabs; however, I do have drops. But I cannot remember how many ml (the measuring unit on the dropper in .25 ml increments) to give her.

I have a 16-month-old German Shepherd, Jake, who was given to me as a Christmas gift in 2010 at 9 weeks old. He was added to my existing pack, Ben (a black lab, 9 years old) and Rory (a Golden Retriever, 7 years old). Jake is crate trained and spends the time he cannot be supervised closely in there. I exercise them every day for a minimum of 20-30 minutes and sometimes over an hour. Jake will not come and relax in the family room with the family; he is constantly getting into everything. I've tried using a Caesar Milan walking leash to force him to come and join us, but he will not lay down and cries and whines continuously. I hate to have him crated when we're all together. Any suggestions?
