We have a Chinese Imperial (Shih Tzu) 10 lb 8 mo old with an elevated BUN: Creatinine Ratio. Would the consumption of quail droppings show a false positive on her blood work?

I have an 11-year-old dog that is 1/2 Chow, 1/4 German Shepherd, and 1/4 unknown breed. She is showing signs of arthritis in her hind quarters. What natural remedies are available to help with her discomfort and prevent future problems? Are there any additional tips or advice?

My 4 Yorkies have been passing around 'pink eye' (conjunctivitis) for several weeks. I mistakenly used Quadrotopic ointment, which is not an ophthalmic medication, on one of my dogs. I immediately flushed his eyes out. What should I do now?

Is Previcox safe for my 15 lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel? He is 11 years old and was prescribed Previcox for a limp. He has never been on pill therapy before. He started with 3/4 of a 227 mg pill, but 5 days later, he is shivering, more lethargic, and seems depressed. Is he just getting used to the Previcox? How can he have a slight limp and then take this medicine, and now has arthritis? Is it a coincidence, or is the medicine causing these issues? What would you do in my situation to treat my dog?

I have a very fearful dog. She is fine in the house and yard, but when she goes for a walk, she is very nervous and does not focus on me. She does not want any treats and just looks all around. I want her to be more relaxed. I tried Rescue Remedy and a DAP collar. She was also on Prozac and Clomicalm, but the Prozac made her sick, and the Clomicalm made no difference. Is there any medication I can suggest to my vet to try?
