My dog, Brownie, was recently diagnosed with diabetes and started on 8mg of Vetsulin insulin twice per day. Despite this, her blood sugar levels remain over 600, and she has been experiencing symptoms such as panting, weakness, and bloodshot eyes. I am concerned about her current condition and whether I should adjust her insulin dosage. Additionally, Brownie suddenly went partially deaf two days after starting insulin. What should I do to manage her diabetes and address her other symptoms?

I have a 7-year-old German Shepherd who had a TTA surgery a year ago, involving a titanium implant. She developed an infection that has persisted for months, with bloody, pus-like drainage progressing down her leg. Despite multiple treatments including antibiotics, steroids, and repeated vet visits, the infection continues. The vets are out of ideas. What could be causing this persistent infection, and what further steps can be taken?

I drove my 37 lb dog, Chico, to the vet for surgery. The drive is almost an hour and he was terrified, howling, running all over, and trying to get in my lap. I have to pick him up later today and am considering giving him Valium for the drive. What should I do?
