Can I give my dog another pain pill (Deramaxx 25mg) after 17 hours? My dog, Laney, was spayed on Monday and seems very uncomfortable and restless. The Deramaxx was prescribed by her vet, but the bottle says to give one pill every 24 hours. Additionally, Laney keeps scratching at her stomach, leaving red scratch marks. What can I do to help her feel better and prevent her from scratching?

My dog, Maki, is not drinking any water. His urine is a golden yellow color. Should I be concerned? He has gained a little weight due to cold temps and lack of exercise, and he is about six years old.

My 9-week-old puppy, Fitz, has been experiencing on and off diarrhea for four days, with the worst episode last night. He has not been exposed to anything that could cause parvo, is acting normally, eating and drinking well, and has no vomiting. He is due for his second round of shots next week. There have been no recent food changes or new treats, just an increase in food due to his growth. What could be causing the diarrhea and what should I do?
