I am dealing with arthritis issues in my 8-year-old yellow lab, Zeus. My vet prescribed Adequan injections and Carprofen capsules. However, I read that NSAIDs should not be taken with Adequan. Is this correct? Additionally, is there a time limit for using NSAIDs and Adequan together?

My blind and deaf Chihuahua mix, who is 12 years old and has arthritis and stomach problems, screams every time she is given her medications (gabapentin, Pepcid, and tramadol). The screaming lasts about 20 minutes and then she calms down. I am worried and don't have a vet appointment until Tuesday. How can I manage her medication administration to reduce her distress?

My Pomeranian dog, Bear, is experiencing heavy breathing, hasn't defecated in two days, and picks up any water he drinks. He also can't keep anything down and is struggling to breathe. My grandkids left a bag of licorice out, and he got into it, consuming the sweettart center. What should I be aware of and what should I do?

My Shih Tzu, Duffy, has symptoms of a nervous disorder and restless legs, including body tremors, tight muscle contractions, and severe pain, especially at night. He was prescribed gabapentin by a neurologist, but it hasn't helped. What other treatments can be considered for his condition?
