My corgi is in labor and has had a tail of a puppy out for about an hour. The placenta broke a long time ago, so I'm sure it is dead. We are trying to get it out. We are too far from a vet's office, over 100 miles away. She is a very small corgi. What should I do?

My 55lb dog has been on Amitriptyline 50 mg in the morning and 25mg in the evening for 15 months due to extreme anxiety. She improved but still had some anxiety, so her morning dose went to 50mg. She is now doing great and has been for several months. Is it safe to cut her dose back to 25 mg twice daily?

My 6-week-old puppy is frequently vomiting. The puppy recently had a change in food from the original owner, received deworming treatment, and is due for distemper/parvo vaccinations. The puppy has been eating well but started vomiting today, with chunks of dry dog food in the vomit. The vet diagnosed an overbite and ruled out worms. The puppy has normal poop, high energy, and no diarrhea. What could be causing the vomiting and what steps should be taken to address it?
