My dog, Boone, was diagnosed with diabetes 3 weeks ago. He eats and receives insulin at 5:30 am and 5:30 pm every day. He recently ate about 5 ketchup packets at 2:30 pm. Does he need more insulin?

My dog, Biscuit, who is nine years old, has been healthy until recently. Now, he can't move, feels hot, and is finding small places to crawl into. His appetite and stool are still regular when he can move. Could he have eaten something unusual that caused this sudden change in his condition, and what should be done to help him?

My 15-year-old dog, Babsy, has inflamed gums and I think she is in pain. She has kidney problems and can't undergo dental cleaning due to her age. What are some at-home dental solutions and pain management options for her?
