My dog is already on carprofen for arthritis, but she is still in pain with the highest dose I can safely give (1mg per lb of body weight 2X a day). Can I use Dr. Jacobs original Pferdesalbe or any human pain cream as well? Or what else could I do for her?

My Brittany ate my lab's Comfortis in addition to her own. The lab takes 1620mg and we give a half a tab to the Brittany who weighs 34 pounds. So she got 2430mg. That was at 9AM California time. I am just finding out about it since I am not the one who fed the dogs breakfast. She seems OK right now at 3PM our time. Do I need to be worried? My phone number is(###) ###-####

My dog was seen by a vet earlier this week for severe vomiting. Full chem panel and CBC as well as abdominal X-ray were normal. Today she has urinated several times in our home, with pools followed by a lot of dribbling in between. She is panting and shaking heavily and cries when bumped a certain way or when attempting to pick her up. I'm concerned she may have a UTI, but not sure what classifies an emergency to contact a local vet.

I have a one-year-old black lab who has recently started to exhale heavily, almost like a "wheezing sound when congested", sneezes yellow phlegm-like stuff, and has been licking her lips and constantly opening and closing her mouth. Is this cause for concern?

Can my dog, Gerdie, a 6-year-old English Bulldog, take Cephalexin with Rimadyl for a urinary tract infection, and what are the potential side effects or interactions? Additionally, how soon should I expect the antibiotic to start working, and should I be concerned about her increased urgency to pee and vomiting?
