My dog is currently taking gabapentin, amitriptyline, meloxicam for pain, and thyrotab for low thyroid. She has been diagnosed with a UTI and was originally prescribed Clovamax, which made her vomit. I just picked up sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim that the clinic recommended instead, but I'm concerned about a significant interaction between this and her amitriptyline, especially since she is 19 with a heart murmur and MVDD. Should I be worried about this interaction, and is there anything I should watch for with this new antibiotic?

My dad’s acting like he has a stomach ache or is in pain. I noticed his bowel movements are a little looser than me normally are. What can I give him to ease up his pain or have an infection in his intestines?

My 7-year-old pug has been experiencing frequent diarrhea, sometimes with blood in the stool, and has never had accidents at night before. The issue occurs off and on every few months. Could this be due to dietary indiscretions, and can dogs have diarrhea and bloody stools from eating something they shouldn't?

My dog, Piper, an 8-year-old 22-pound beagle, ate about 4 ounces of fudge containing milk chocolate. I tried to induce vomiting with expired hydrogen peroxide, which caused her to throw up mostly peroxide. I also gave her activated charcoal. What should I do next, and is she in any immediate danger?
