My dog ripped 3 staples out of her foot and I got the bleeding stopped. Can I give her a mild sedative until I can get her to our local vet in the morning? If so, what over-the-counter medications are okay to give a 13-pound miniature schnauzer?

My dog is trying to throw up but nothing is coming out, and he has foam in his mouth. He is very uncomfortable. What can I do to help him before the vet opens?

Rusty, a 12-year-old Chou, Corgi, Pomeranian mix, has been showing symptoms of diarrhea, loss of appetite, and unsteadiness. He has a mass on his liver and elevated kidney values. The vet suggested against a liver biopsy due to his age. My questions are: 1) Should we avoid the liver biopsy? 2) Could Adequan shots be causing kidney impairment? 3) Is there an alternative to Azodyl that is easier to administer? 4) What should we do as Rusty seems to be deteriorating?
