My chihuahua is on spironolactone. The vet gives me 25mg pills which I need to split into quarters. The pills are very small, rounded surface with no score. Does anyone make chihuahua appropriate dosages? Or can I get this compounded somewhere? Thank you! Rick

My 10-year-old Bichon has an elevated ALT level (257) and needs ACL surgery. Is it safe to give NSAIDs for pain, and could they cause liver problems? Should the dog be anesthetized with such an ALT level? What are safer pain relief options, including herbal aspirin?

My dog has been on cephalexin for three days for a wound and has started vomiting. She has thrown up her food and even boiled chicken and broth. She has not eaten anything but water since 10:00 AM and has vomited yellow bile. My vet advised no food for 24 hours and to see if the vomiting stops. How long should I wait before taking her to an emergency vet if the vomiting continues? She seems to have an appetite but I have not given her food.

My dog has an anterior cruciate ligament injury and we are waiting for an assessment under anesthesia. The recommended surgery, including a tibial plate and 6 weeks of rest, seems significant. What are the alternatives to surgery for him, considering he is a much-loved family pet and we want to make an informed decision?
