My dog, Judy, has a red and squinting right eye with no discharge. She has been pawing at it and seems uncomfortable. I noticed this a few days ago. She is a 12-year-old rescue, a mix of rat terrier and Chihuahua, and is up-to-date on her shots. Is it safe to give her Zatidor drops, and are there any over-the-counter human eye drops that can be used as a temporary solution until I can take her to the vet tomorrow?

My 8-week-old Border Collie and Husky mix, Ranger, is throwing up bile, has diarrhea, and is not eating. He just got him last night and he has been lethargic. He had fleas and we just bathed him. What should I do?

My dog, Leo, a year old and weighing 10-15 pounds, got into a used hand warmer. He threw up black vomit about 40 minutes ago and seems lethargic. Should I take him to the vet?

My dog Ginger, who weighs about 40 lbs and is 18 months old, accidentally ingested 100mg of cyclosporine and also ate 2 slices of bacon. Should I be concerned about any potential side effects or toxicity, and what actions should I take if any?

My 15-year-old foxhound, Mimi, slipped down the stairs and has been limping with a swollen right hip since Saturday. She doesn't yelp or react painfully when touched, but her movements are labored, and her muscles shake on that side. What should I do for her, and what might the vet look for in an x-ray?

My 2-year-old female Golden Doodle, Miley, has been chewing on her front right paw so much that the padding is coming off. We've noticed this behavior for about a week, and we've been soaking and cleaning the paw, applying moisturizer, and using a sock to prevent further chewing. She doesn't have any known allergies, but we removed chicken from her diet due to itching. There's no rash or other skin-related symptoms, just the one paw. What could be causing this and what should we do?
