My dog was bred 2 weeks ago. Prior to breeding, I had dewormed her and used flea treatment. I want to avoid any sprays, even natural ones. Do you use one clove of garlic in the food? I normally use Ivomec for heartworm and other worms but never when they are pregnant. What can I worm her with that won't harm the pups? Would the previous flea and worming treatment affect conception or embryo development?

We visited family on December 22nd and 23rd, unaware that their puppy was being treated for giardia. On Christmas, my dog, Nina, vomited once and started having diarrhea. Her stools are still not right, soft and mucousy. We initially thought she might have gotten into something, but now suspect she could have picked up the parasite from the puppy. Is this possible? If a dog is on medication, is the dog still contagious? Can this be passed to humans?

My Husky had an eyelid tumor removed today. I picked him up around 6 PM and he has been crying ever since, with rapid respirations and seems to be in pain. The vet did not give any pain meds and there are no phone numbers provided. What can I safely give him?

My dog has been licking his penis, which is out of the ordinary, and there is some yellow/white discharge. Is your dog neutered? How long has this been going on? Are there any other symptoms?

My older female cat got pregnant, but only one kitten survived. My dog, a Kerry Blue Terrier, has been overprotective of the kitten and won't let the cat feed it. The kitten has been suckling on the dog, and I noticed the dog's nipples are red and milk came out when I touched them. Can my dog be feeding the kitten? Is her milk okay for the kitten? The mother cat doesn't seem to mind, which puzzles me. My dog is not pregnant at all.
