My dog has been diagnosed with cancer under a skin tumor on his left shoulder. He has been asymptomatic for two months but is now significantly limping and occasionally crying. He is normally very stoic, so this indicates he is in significant pain. What dosage of Vicodin can we give him until we can get to the regular vet? He weighs 40 lbs and is a mixed breed. We know he will be put down soon but want to minimize his suffering for a few days until then.

My dog, Crave, a 2-year-old border collie weighing about 50lbs, drank 2 sips of water from a toilet containing Scrubbing Bubbles cleaner about 20 minutes ago. The dog has shown no signs of vomiting and seems fine. What should I do?

Our 6-month-old Shepherd mix puppy, Spooky, got tangled in his lead for about 4 hours. When we freed him, his leg was bound and swollen, and he's been limping on it. He's not crying but avoids putting weight on it and moves it away when touched. He's still eating and drinking normally. What should we do?

My 7-month-old Rottweiler mix puppy, Rocco, has been experiencing liquid, watery diarrhea since about 9pm and is now vomiting as well. He threw up twice within 10 minutes. I don't think he ate anything unusual today, and he didn't spend any time outside alone. He's also shaking and not really sleeping. Should I put him in the kennel for sleep or let him stay in bed with us?

My dog ate quite a bit of Espoma organic blood organic fertilizer. It was a 3 lb bag and my dog weighs 45-50 lbs. The incident happened within the past 30 minutes and he has not thrown up. What should I do?

My dog, Becky, a 4-year-old small dog weighing about 15 pounds, ate something potentially poisonous from the garbage a couple of hours ago. She is lethargic, not drinking water, and her gums are pink but around the teeth are black. She is also starting to shake and has her ears back. What should I do, and how can I tell if her condition is worsening?
