My dog, Zero, an overweight Aussiedor, is experiencing pain in his back or hips, crying when he shifts or sits, and walking stiffly. He recently tried to jump and may have aggravated the issue. What should I do to help him, and how much Metacam should I give him?

My 3-year-old Labrador, Jack, is showing signs of heat exhaustion including being barely reactive, panting, muscle spasms, and pale gums. I can't take him to the vet until morning. What can I do to help him until then?

I have a 11-year-old Japanese Chin named Isadora who has been showing signs of a cold: wet eyes, a drippy nose, and coughing. She is drinking more water than usual, but is active, eating well, and happy. She was previously treated for an esophageal problem and is now using guaifenisin. What should I do to help her?

My dog swallowed approximately 3 mls of Children’s Tylenol intended for my daughter. Is this a toxic level for dogs, and do I need to make him vomit?

My dog, Sambar, was recently diagnosed with kidney stones and a UTI. She was put on antibiotics and a prescription urinary diet. She seemed to be doing better but suddenly tonight she is straining to poop, her stomach is gurgling, she's restless, and panting. What may have happened? Is it an emergency or will she be okay until morning? Vets are not taking patients, and there's a 10-hour wait for the ER.
