My dog, Gus, a 5-year-old miniature dachshund, is stumbling and lethargic. He shows no signs of pain or injury, but his hind legs seem to be malfunctioning. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 35lb dog ate a 20mg lisinopril pill about half an hour ago. She had her morning meal before eating the pill and is otherwise healthy. Should I be worried, and is there anything I should do to monitor her condition?

My friend's 6-year-old yellow lab, altered female, has white gums, vomits up any water taken, not eaten in 48 hours, labored breathing, dry cracked nose, hard lump in stomach, swollen vulva, slight fever. My friend cannot pay for an emergency vet visit today but will take her on tomorrow morning. What can we do tonight to help her?

My female dog has started keeping her usually upright tail down and is licking her rear area more than usual, especially when I touched her area to clean some poo. She is eating and drinking normally, but I can't find any obvious sores. Could this be life-threatening or can I wait until tomorrow to take her to her vet since this is Sunday?

My dog, Rocky, a 7-year-old chocolate lab, has stopped eating for a week. He was very active but suddenly got sick, showing signs of vomiting and diarrhea for the first two days. We took him for an x-ray to check for a stomach blockage, which was clear, and he was given a rehydration shot. He seems more alert now, has stopped vomiting, but still won't eat. What could be wrong and what should we do?
