My 9-year-old Airedale Terrier suddenly can't get up from a sitting/lying position, is lethargic, and panting. He walks when lifted but shows no pain in his back, hips, or legs. Blood tests show a slightly elevated white cell count, and he's been prescribed anti-inflammatory meds without improvement. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog has been prescribed Metacam, and I accidentally gave him a second dose tonight, 12 hours after the first dose. Will he be okay?

My dog just ate about 2 oz. of an SPF 50 sunblock cream. The active ingredients are homosalate, octisalate, avobenzone, and octocrylene. The dog weighs about 52 lbs. Should I be worried?

I have a Miniature Schnauzer that keeps having random bouts of lethargy, eating very little, and vomiting 3 to 4 times a week. He drinks and pees well, but I'm worried about Lyme disease as I've picked two black-legged ticks off him in the last four months. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should be done?

My dog has developed tremors in the neck and mid to upper spine area. The tremors are intermittent, lasting 3-5 minutes, and are more like deep shivering or shaking. Jody, the dog, doesn't show any signs of trouble walking, lack of coordination, knuckling, or stumbling, and he doesn't seem disoriented. He has intermittent lower back/joint pain, which has been treated with doggie Ibuprofen. What could be causing these tremors and what should I do?

My dog had glucose in her urine, but her bloodwork was normal. She was recently in a kennel and experienced vomiting and diarrhea. What could be causing the glucose in her urine?
