My 8-week-old lab was wormed last Monday and had a fractured leg on Wednesday, now in a splint. He has been experiencing loose to mostly watery stools since Saturday, despite being given Pepto-Bismol yesterday which temporarily hardened his stool. The fecal test was negative for coccidia. What could be causing the diarrhea and what can be done to treat it?

My dog has long hair around his anus, which builds up and causes him difficulty pooping. He doesn't seem to be in pain but is very uneasy. What should I do to help him and prevent this issue from recurring?

Hello. We just were prescribed Carprofen for our dog (40 lbs). The dosage was half a tablet (25 g). The way the label was printed, it looked like 1 and 1/2, so I just gave her 3x the dose. She threw up and is now resting. I was just reading about possible organ damage. Should I take her to the emergency vet?

My husband, who suffers from dementia, informed me that our lab ate a block of Tomcat mouse poison about four days ago. I have seen no symptoms of poisoning in her. Is she likely to have suffered no ill effects or should I still be worried?

My female Maltese, approximately 6 years old, often stands and then suddenly falls over, especially when trying to sleep with her head over the edge of the couch or bed. She has been breathing through her mouth more frequently, is restless, and wakes herself up often. She has been on antibiotics, prednisone, and pain medicine with no change. What could be wrong with her?
