Our 14-month-old female cattle dog and Labrador retriever mix was attacked by a wild animal near our mountain home. She is not eating, bleeding from the mouth, and is laying down more than usual. We suspect she may have internal injuries. How can we help her for the next 12 hours until we can take her to the veterinarian?

I am fostering a young staffie bitch, around 9/10 months old, for the local dog rescue. She is severely traumatized, shakes when frightened, and has a history of being confined in a dark or gloomy space. She bolts her food, wees frequently, and has bowel movements three or more times a day. She is currently on antibiotics for kennel cough and needs vaccinating and worming. She is terrified of going outside and has selected a secure corner in my home. How can I help her overcome her traumas and prepare her for a permanent, caring home?

My 40-pound Appenzell Mountain Dog ate a 25mg Hydrochlorthizide water pill and 0.88 mg of a Sinthroid pill. She had peed on the couch and floor and is a little more hyper than usual, but otherwise seems normal. What are the potential effects of these medications on my dog?
