My 8lb mini schnauzer was roughly grabbed by a 65lb shepherd/catahoula mix by the leg. She seemed fine initially but is now shivering and shaking when she moves. Both legs move okay, and it doesn't feel like anything is broken. She still eats and drinks and walks without a limp. Can I give her half a baby Bayer for pain, and what should I watch for?

My five-month-old Rottweiler is screaming out for pain every hour, his right hind leg is curling under when he walks, and he has been vomiting and not eating. The vet gave him antibiotics, a multivitamin, and Gravol. Could this be intestinal or some disease he has?

My 10 lb chihuahua was bitten on his right rear leg by a large golden retriever. He was bleeding, so I cleaned it with peroxide, but now he is limping and won't put any weight on it. The leg is also swollen. What should I do?

My 2-year-old female Great Pyrenees, Roxy, has been sick and not eating since December 8th. She vomited bile, foamed at the mouth, and has been lethargic. She shared food and water with a puppy who had diarrhea, and later, my other dogs were treated for tapeworm. Roxy has had little to eat or drink, and the vet has treated her for nausea and dehydration. What could be causing her symptoms, and what should I do next?

My 65-pound mixed breed dog has redness and a split nail on her paw, with the area between her toes being red and tender. Can I give her human penicillin and wash her paw with hydrogen peroxide? A $100 vet visit is not an option this week.
