I have a 68-pound Belgian Malinois used as a narcotic detector dog. We received the dog from the Netherlands about 7 months ago and he was heartworm negative. I have given him each month 2 ML of 0.05% Ivermectin solution from JR Enterprise, yet he tested positive for heartworms. What is the safest and quickest way to treat and eradicate the heartworms, especially since no adults were seen under the microscope?

My dog is throwing up, can't keep anything down, and his back legs are shaking. He has no problem getting up and walking to drink water on his own. There are no vets open around me until Monday. What should I do?

I have a 12-year-old Westie with diabetes, cataracts, and sudden onset of balance issues, including walking in circles, head tilt, and falling. My vet suspects idiopathic vestibular syndrome and has been treating her with antibiotics. My concern is her potential deafness and overall quality of life. What should I do?

I have a Red Bone Dog that appeared to have been poisoned. She is showing signs of weakness, panting, hard breathing, shunning, matting eyes, and refusing to eat. She can't walk far and stays close, panting heavily and shunning. She has a piece of sausage in her mouth but won't eat it. I have hydrogen peroxide and a turkey injector. What should I do at this point?

My dog, Duke, a 4-year-old Great Dane Lab mix, ate a tube of Desitin cream containing zinc oxide. He has vomited a couple of times, but the vomiting has now subsided. His eyes, which are usually red due to allergies, are now more white. Do I need to take him to the vet, and could this be a symptom of zinc poisoning?
