My 18 lb dachshund is in pain due to a back issue. My wife just gave her a baby aspirin (80mg), and we have 50mg Tramadol that our vet gave her in the past. Can I give her a 1/2 tablet of Tramadol even though she just had a baby aspirin?

My 12-year-old King Charles Spaniel falls asleep sitting up, sways, and starts to fall over before rousing herself, similar to a narcoleptic. She has had numerous tests and bloodwork, all of which are normal for her age. The vet suggests a CT scan, but it costs $2500, and we are hesitant if it won't lead to effective and affordable treatment. Any suggestions?

I accidentally gave my dog a tablet containing Cetirizine Hydrochloride and Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (5mg/120mg) instead of his usual Iverhart Max chewable tablet. My dog is acting strangely, not eating, and seems to be following something in the air. Is my dog sick, and what should I do?

My dog ate some beef in a wine sauce. Should I be concerned since grapes are bad for dogs?

My 110 lb, 9-year-old German Shepherd is on 20 mg Prednisone for a fungal skin infection. She has arthritis and is noticeably uncomfortable without Carprofen (cannot be taken together - I understand that). Can I give her coated enteric aspirin or some other over-the-counter pain reliever? How much? I could ask my vet but thought a second opinion might be helpful.
