My dog, Chipper, a 10-year-old corgi-chihuahua mix, has been exhibiting shaking, licking, lifting her paw, and staring into space. She had a neck injury three weeks ago that caused her to cry and shake when scared, and the vet suspected a spine injury. She has been on crate rest and prednisone, which has finished. She is eating, peeing, and pooping fine but started shaking again this morning. What should I do to help her calm down?

My 13-year-old male Dachshund, Max, has a previous back injury and seems to have hurt it again. Is there an over-the-counter pain or muscle relaxer I can give him as my vet is closed and I have no more pain meds or muscle relaxers for him?

My 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Bichon mix, Pete, is lethargic, has glassy eyes, is laying down, and is having strange abdominal movements. He has had some back issues in the past, but this seems different. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog just vomited up a rusty stapler. She has been eating a lot of grass and having diarrhea. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

My 4-year-old lab mix has been on a grain-free Zignature food for 2 years, and although he doesn’t show signs of DCM, I'm concerned after reading a lot of information. Should I have his taurine levels checked or have an X-ray done?

I have an older dog named Squirt with bronchogenic adenocarcinoma. She is currently on Cerenia and I was given 20 mg of Predinsolone when needed. I feel the Cerenia has made her lethargic and I want to give her 1/2 of a Predinsolone pill in combination. Is this safe, and how should I proceed?
