Can I give my dog Frontline (or Advantage) before the 30 days are up if I am still seeing fleas? What is the best flea preventative, and how does it work? Can I use flea shampoo periodically without affecting the effectiveness of the flea treatment? How long does it typically take to rid fleas, and what should I do if the treatment isn't working as expected?

My yellow lab, Lorelei, started limping and holds up her right paw even when sitting. She lets me look at it, and one toe looks a little swollen/red, but she isn't protective or anxious about me looking at it unless I get really nosy. She isn't licking the swelling, and she still jumps onto furniture and my bed. I noticed the limp on Thursday evening, and she uses her foot when jumping without hesitation but holds it up when sitting. Is one of the toes swollen? What could be causing this, and how should I proceed with the dog sitter who will be staying at my home?

My 13-year-old blind and deaf Bichon Poodle mix, Scooter, weighing 23 lbs, ate 1/2 lb of grapes within the last 3 hours. He hasn't vomited yet and is showing signs of distress, including heaving and bloating. What should I do?

We think our dog may have ingested rat poison, but we don’t know for sure. The dog has not vomited and only chewed a small amount of the poison. The dog weighs about 60 pounds. What should we do and what symptoms should we look out for?
