My 3-year-old Mini Aussie, Briar, has been experiencing an eye issue. Initially, her eye appeared swollen, but it has since improved. However, her pupils remain uneven, and her third eyelid seemed abnormal at first. Briar also licks frequently and ate a granola bar after the eye issue occurred. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hi Dr, this is Cynthia again with Coby the Boston Terrier. I was just talking to you about his possible hernia and our appointment today at 4pm. I had another question. I hear that ultrasounds are safer than x-rays. Should I request that an ultrasound gets done today instead if they would like to do a little something to get a better idea of what’s going on? Also, his ATL is slightly elevated so his vet is recommending that he takes Denamarin. I’m looking on Amazon now and I see tablets in a box and supplements in a bottle. Which one do you think I should buy for him? And which box should I buy? The one for animals that weigh up to 12 lbs or the other one for pets that weigh between 13-34 lbs. I’m not sure because his weight fluctuates depending on how much exercise he gets and how much he eats. Some days he weighs 10 lbs and other days he’s more like 13-14 lbs.

My dog suddenly stopped eating and his back legs are weak. He has very low energy and was walking unassisted until recently, but now he can't stand up. He's a 13-year-old mixed breed (Chow and black lab) and had a little blood in his urine a few weeks ago, but that has stopped.

My dog ate a stick of rawhide a week ago. He weighs 70 lbs, his name is Lucky Chip, and he is 2 years old. He has thrown up and drinks a lot of water. What should I do?

I have a small rat terrier named Sable, who is 1.5 years old and has a habit of eating everything. She recently ingested 25 10 MG lisinopril tablets within the last hour. She hasn't vomited yet. What should I do and what symptoms should I monitor for?
