My golden retriever, Lily, hurt her front left leg near the wrist area yesterday morning. She hasn't seen a vet in a while and is only taking a vitamin with glucosamine. She is 5 years old and is not putting weight on her foot when she walks. There is no noticeable swelling. What could be causing her pain and should I take her to the vet?

Can I give my dog Imodium for diarrhea? My dog, Charlie, is 1 year old and started having diarrhea last night after eating his regular food. He is very active, still eating and drinking, and up to date on all vaccines and heartworm prevention. He also ate a little apple yesterday.

My dog, Bear-dog, has been experiencing intermittent diarrhea and vomiting after being on Remedial for 2 months. The symptoms worsened with a prescribed Hill's prescription diet, and now his poop is grey and slimy. I've tried fasting and a rice and chicken diet, which improved the diarrhea but it became intermittent. The vet prescribed Metronidazole, but I'm hesitant to give it. Should I try natural remedies like Metamucil first, or proceed with the antibiotic? Is an X-ray necessary, and is Metronidazole safe for my dog?
