My dog has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart and stage 3 heart disease. He has been prescribed benazepril and Pimobendan. Can these be taken together? Should they be given separately, and if so, which one is more helpful to give first? Are there any negative side effects to watch for? Also, for a 40lb dog, is a dosage of 5mg of benazepril and 10mg of Pimobendan once daily appropriate?

I just got a puppy named Toby, a toy poodle, from a guy on the side of the road. Today, I noticed he has worms and warm poop. I'm trying to get him to a vet today, but it's Sunday and I haven't had any luck so far. What should I do?

My 14 lb, 12-year-old cockapoo named Darcy was found chewing on a geranium plant. I'm unsure if she swallowed any of it. Darcy is also recovering from a dislocated hip due to an encounter with a large neighbor's dog. What should I know about the potential effects of geranium on her and any additional steps I should take?

My dog ate some Preen mulch, which contains a weed deterrent and herbicide. She has vomited three times and doesn't want to eat. She also has epilepsy and threw up her last pill. Should I let her sleep now?
