My dog got into a plastic bag with treats last night and ate some of the bags along with the treats.

My dog is on diethylstilbestrol (DES) for spay incontinence. She started 3-4 weeks ago with a dose of one a day for 5 days, then one a week. We missed last week's dose and gave her one today after an accident. Do I need to start over with one a day for five days, or just pick up the weekly dose?

How can I administer medications to my dog, Buddy, who has wounds on his face, side of his mouth, and neck, and is not eating due to pain? Can I dissolve the pills in water and give them to him using a syringe?

My 2-year-old neutered male Weimaraner occasionally locks up, becoming stiff and unresponsive for about a minute. This has happened three times in the past year, with no convulsions observed. What could be causing this and what should I do?
