My dog, Perry, a 10-year-old Yorkie, is experiencing intermittent pain in the lower flank region, especially after eating and walking up stairs. X-rays show calcium cystals in the bladder and a kidney stone. What are the treatment options for kidney stones in Yorkies, and can laser lithotripsy be a possibility?

My pet ate a few pieces of onion. I induced vomiting by combining hydrogen peroxide with low sodium chicken broth which had onion powder in it. Will my dog be ok since he threw up?

My dog, Cho, an 8 1/2-year-old German shepherd, chow, and something else mix, started showing signs of an ear infection today. She is shaking her head a lot and scratching her ears. What can I do to help her at home until I can get her to a vet?

My 15-month-old Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie, has been experiencing eye inflammation, excessive thirst, reduced appetite, and a desire to be alone for the past two days. She has an appointment with a vet in about a week but is not currently on any medications. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do in the meantime?

My dog, Lucy, who is 9 years old and weighs 70 pounds, got into something unknown about an hour and a half ago. She is flinching at noises, walking uncoordinatedly, falling asleep and jerking herself awake, and has not vomited. She had a stroke six years ago. What could be wrong and what should I do?
