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?

Yes, you can give your dog a mild sedative. For a 13-pound miniature schnauzer, you can use diphenhy...

My 4.5 lb Pomeranian ate 100 mg of Advil. Should I be worried and what should I do?

We have a 4-year-old Shih Tzu who has been very quiet, sleeping all the time, and vomited 2 days ago. Her temperature is 104.3°F. What can I give her for the fever until I bring her to the vet tomorrow?

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?

Can a dog be allergic to Advantix? My four-year-old whippet started to scratch his neck and shake his ears continuously over the past four days after a dose of Advantix on his neck. A local veterinarian prescribed Lenisolone 5 mg over the next few days, without seeing the dog. It doesn't seem to help. Should I get something for his ears as well?
