My Pitbull, Ghotti, is 4 years old and has been showing signs of discomfort, such as not laying down all the time, not drinking water, and being lethargic. He still eats but has a hard area around his male anatomy. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Our vet's office has been closed due to weather since Saturday. My 13-year-old lab, Akoni, who has cancer and severe arthritis, needs his medication (alprazolam) that is due tomorrow. He takes it twice a day. How can we get the medication without a script or call-in to the pharmacy?

My dog, Ollie (3 years old, 50lb), accidentally ate about 20 of his 40 mg prednisone pills 14 hours ago. He is not showing any unusual behavior, just increased urination and drinking. He has been on prednisone for 3 weeks for an autoimmune disorder and has become very hyper and hungry. What should I do, and when should I resume his normal prednisone dose?
