My German Shepherd/Lab mix, Katie, who just turned one, became really scared of going outside for walks due to the sound of fireworks during the 4th of July week. For the past 6 weeks, she has been very resistant to going outside about 75% of the time. She puts her leash on fine but starts crying and trying to get back inside as soon as we get outside. We've tried treats and toys, but nothing seems to help. What can we do to help her overcome this fear?

My dog is taking 300 mg of gabapentin and has occasional diarrhea. Is it safe for him to take Purina's FortiFlora while taking gabapentin?

My 20-pound dog ate a small amount of red onion, equivalent to half an onion ring, and I gave him a small amount of saltwater to induce vomiting. Should I be concerned about his health, and should I use hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting instead?

My 8-year-old lab, Sonny, is drinking a lot more water than usual and has become lethargic over the past 3-4 weeks. He still has a good appetite and eats normally, but his energy levels are lower than usual. What could be causing this and what tests should be done to diagnose the issue?

I have a 4-month-old dachshund named Maverick who had his anal glands expressed manually at the vet today. After returning home, he experienced severe diarrhea and excessive salivation, which is not normal for him. His stools have been looser than usual, and he was scooting and licking his bottom before the vet visit. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to help him?

My 5kg Dachshund, Polly, ate 2 cigarettes (about a third of each) and I'm wondering if I should take her to an after-hours vet or just monitor her for symptoms. She is 9 months old, otherwise healthy, and her pupils seem a little dilated but otherwise she seems fine.
