My 9-year-old teacup Maltese, Buddy, last night started continually walking around and stretching, mostly with front paws stretched out in front and rear still upright, like a bow down. He didn't want to be held and would only stay still for short periods before repeating the stretch. This behavior lasted about five or six hours with frequent outdoor visits but very little feces.

My half Yorkshire half Chihuahua, Bitsy, is acting unusually anxious, won't eat or drink, and has big, fuzzy, gray eyes. She won't let me touch her and seems paranoid. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog, Coco, a 1-year-old 45-pound dog, ate 200 mg of Zoloft and 40 mg of Omeprazole. She seems a bit sluggish but otherwise normal. How concerned should I be and what should I do?

I need an international travel health certificate for my dog, Cami, a 13-year-old Chihuahua x Poodle mix weighing 10 lbs, who is currently on gabapentin. My regular veterinarian is not qualified to issue such a certificate. How can I obtain this certificate, and is it possible to do so online?

My dog, Mango, ate less than a quarter cup of garlic mashed potatoes and some chives about 15 minutes ago. She is 11 pounds and 2 and a half years old. She has not vomited and seems fine, but I'm worried about potential toxicity. Should I induce vomiting, and are the potatoes and chives safe for her?
