My dog, Dakota, a 7-year-old golden retriever with chronic allergies, has a severe habitual ear infection. She is currently on thyroid and anti-allergy medications but ran out of Apoquel 4 days ago. I have an ear cleaning solution from the vet that has not expired. Can I use this solution along with aspirin or another NSAID until I can get her to the vet on Monday? Her body weight is approximately 72 pounds.

My 14 lb. Yorkie had a large 8 oz. stillborn pup this morning. It's been 5 hours, and I don't hear or feel any more pups. She is not pushing or breathing heavily but is nesting. Should I give her oxytocin, and if so, when is the best time to administer it after whelping?

Our dog, Oscar, had a Cerenia injection at 11 am today and was sent home with pills. He was diagnosed with diabetes and pancreatitis, has bladder stones, and received his first insulin injection an hour ago. He is panting excessively and uncomfortable. When should we start the pills, and should we give him more Cerenia? Why is he panting so much?

Can a blood test detect poison in a dog that has passed away after showing symptoms of weakness, high temperature, behavioral disturbances, confusion, seizures, and death, and was exposed to roach medicine containing abamectin B1 0.05% plus pyriproxyfen 0.50% about a month ago?

My 19-pound schnauzer, Lady Bird, ate a quarter of a 200 mg Advil about 10 minutes ago. She seems fine, but what should I do to ensure her safety and monitor her condition?
