My 5-month-old lab puppy, Kaya, has been at doggy daycare for three days and now has severe diarrhea and is lethargic. The daycare suggested giving her Flagyl 500 twice a day for 5 days. Should I proceed with the antibiotics, and if so, what is the correct dosage for her 16kg weight? Additionally, should I change her food to rice and yogurt, skip a meal, and how should I manage a scab on her elbow?

My dog, Luna, ingested a used tampon about 2 hours ago. She is acting normal but has not vomited yet. We do not live close to an urgent care and do not have immediate access to a car. Is there a way to induce vomiting at home, and what should I expect if I do?

My cocker spaniel, Ned, ingested a small amount of plastic from a microwave bacon package (about 3x3 inch) and a small amount of cotton sheathing of similar size. Ned is 6 years old and weighs about 35 lbs. What should I watch for and is there any immediate action I should take?

My Labrador named Toast, who is one year old, has a circular reddish bump about the size of a quarter on her muzzle. The bump was first noticed on Sunday and has not changed since then. Toast is acting normally and the bump does not seem to bother her. What could this bump be and is there anything I should do about it?

I am taking care of my daughter's dog, Bezi, who is 5 years old. He was attacked by another dog and had surgery to repair a ripped skin on his thigh and has several puncture wounds. He is currently wearing a cone and taking 100 mg Trazadone 2x per day, 500 mg Carprofen 2x per day, and 375 mg Amoxicillin Clavulanate 2x per day. After 3 days, he has started shaking his head violently. I'm unsure if this is due to the cone or the medication. What should I do?
