My dachshund/yorkie mix, Toby, who is 9 years old and has CHF and cardiomegaly, accidentally received a full 5mg enalapril tablet instead of his usual half. He weighs 19 pounds and has not vomited. He also takes lasix 12.5mg and Vetmedin 1-25mg, but lasix was withheld for now. What should we do?

My dog, Major, is experiencing very watery diarrhea with blood. He has pooped in the house three times today, with increasing amounts of blood. He hasn't drunk any water today, and his water bowl is still full. He has been chewing on things around the house, but I don't know if he ate anything unusual. He's about a year old and we got him from a shelter a week ago, so we don't know his medical history. What should I do?

My dog, Precious, just had surgery for a complete ACL tear and a torn meniscus. She will be staying in the hospital overnight and will need physical therapy. What should I look for in a physical therapist and how should I manage her post-surgery care, including medication administration and potential liver issues?
