My dog was prescribed 5 mg of prednisone for itchy allergy ears but has been peeing all over the house so we want to stop and look into alternative therapies. He took one tab yesterday and 2 today.

My Golden Retriever, Breck, chewed a double A battery. He weighs 65 lbs and is 10 months old. He has thrown up everything since chewing the battery, but I'm not sure when he chewed it. How long will it take for him to recover and what should I do?

My 3-year-old, 70-pound chocolate lab, Nash, got into his bag of food 12 hours ago and has been dry heaving, burping, and showing signs of bloat since then. He's still walking, drinking, and eating normally but has some lethargy and heavy breathing at rest. What could be causing this and what should I do?
