My German Shepherd has a swollen right rear knee and paw, looking like extreme water weight with a watery lump above the knee joint. He doesn't seem to be in pain and wants to play as usual.

My Chihuahua is on Vetmedin 1.25mg, Enalpril 2.5mg, and Lasix 12.5 mg, all twice a day. She was given 2 shots of Lasix yesterday at the veterinary office, but she is having difficulty and making gurgling noises. How much Lasix can she safely take in pill form per day?

My dog was throwing up through the night. This morning I discovered she ate some candied grapefruit peel when we were gone yesterday. What should I do?

My 10-year-old border terrier is in distress, pacing and unable to settle. He was previously suggested to have arthritis but never confirmed with an x-ray. He is eating normally and not limping, but is very needy for comfort. Can I safely give him paracetamol until I take him to the vet?

My puppy vomited and had diarrhea, refuses to eat, shakes, and lies in her bed. She experienced similar symptoms a couple of months ago but recovered. She is 6 months old and a Volpino/Plummer Terrier mix. What do you suggest?

I just took my dog outside and left him for about 5 minutes. When I called for him to come inside, his legs wouldn't work properly, his eyes were dilated, and he was barely breathing. What could cause this?
