My dog, Lily Bear, has been having ear infections and developed an ear hematoma that was drained. She was prescribed Zyrtec (10mg tablets) three tablets every 12 hours for two weeks. Her weight is 69lbs. Is this dosage too much, and is there anything else I can do to prevent the ear hematoma from returning?

My dog, a 50 lb goldendoodle puppy named Theo, got into a mostly used bottle of vanilla extract containing 41% alcohol. There was probably 1/2 oz left. He is 8 months old and has not vomited yet. Should I take him to the vet or induce vomiting at home?

I have a 14-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd named Sam who weighs 45 lbs. He has been coughing a lot this morning after coming inside from outside. He is under vet care for cancer and is taking a cancer vaccine, but his last check-up in November was clear. I gave him his prescribed allergy medicine, but I am wondering if he can take a Benzonatate capsule, which I have a prescription for but it's 100 mg and can't be divided. Is there an alternative treatment for his coughing?

I have a German Shepherd dog. He has been acting weird, including peeing inside, eating more than usual, and having trouble defecating. Should I bring him to the vet?

Layla, a 13 lbs, almost three-year-old dog, had a dose and a half of Nexgard less than 30 minutes ago. She recently had a shot for allergies. What should I watch for and is this dosage safe?

My dog, Desmond, has a persistent dry cough that started a few days ago. It's not constant but occurs in bouts a few times a day. He is otherwise healthy and on Prozac for anxiety. Should I take him to an ER today or can it wait until tomorrow?
