My dog hurt her back leg during play and has been unable to walk for two days. She is slowly walking again but has stopped eating. She is drinking water and still peeing. I have an appointment scheduled for Friday. What should I do in the meantime?

I think my dog swallowed a 4 mg tizanidine pill. The dog weighs 10 lbs and is named Gigi, aged 1 year. It happened about 10 to 15 minutes ago, and the dog has not thrown up since. Is there any cause for concern, and what should I do?

My dog, Socks, age 7, has a possible foxtail in her paw. She is licking it incessantly, and we live in Northern California where foxtails are prevalent. Should I take her to the ER if the foxtail has been in her paw for a while, or should I try a more conservative treatment first?

My dog, Moose, age 7, has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting with blood since Thursday 6/2. He was given Cerenia, Pepcid, fluids, antibiotics, probiotics, and home Cerenia and Pepcid. He has been eating minimally and has not had any water since Thursday. Diarrhea has continued but is less frequent. Should I take him back to the vet due to concerns about dehydration, and what additional tests should be considered?
