My German Shepherd cross has eaten mouse poison (Ratsak blocks) about an hour ago. I don't know the active ingredient, and he weighs 33 kilos. He has eaten at least one block, possibly two, which are about an inch square by half an inch. We don't have hydrogen peroxide, and we live far from a vet's office. What should I do?

My toy poodle, Molee, age 16 1/2 years, has matted eyes, with the left eye being redder than the right. Both eyes are pinkish. She has been crying and has vomited twice. Can I use Equate brand eye drops for dry eyes on her?

I just got a 9-10 year old dog from a family member. Her nails are very long and click on the floor, making her walk slowly. I'm concerned about cutting them because I've read about the quick being too long. What's the best way to safely trim her nails, and is it possible to sedate her for this?

My 10-11 year old Jack Russell, Daisy, has been yelping in pain when she gets up, showing signs of pain in her lower body (possibly stomach or hip joints), is very clingy, and sleeps a lot. She eats and goes to the bathroom normally. What could be causing her pain and what can I do to help her?

My dog, Vera, has a red sore/raised bump on her belly. She is 5 years old and healthy, but the sore doesn't seem to bother her. How long has it been there, is it changing in size, and what should I do to treat it?
