My older male dog, Hendricks, age 14, was given Bethanechol for incontinence. I read that this drug increases urination, but how does that help with incontinence? He has been experiencing leakage when standing to eat and urinating when sleeping. We tried Proin, but it made his condition worse. What could be causing his incontinence, and what further steps should be taken to address it?

My puppy is laying around, pooing blood, throwing up, having trouble breathing, can't walk right, and his eyes are half-open. He is also losing weight fast. What should I do?

My dog ate 12 oz of 60% cocoa chocolate chips 13-14 hours ago. She has shown symptoms of restlessness, drunken gait, increased thirst, and incontinence, but no vomiting or diarrhea. She is 38 lbs and her heart rate is mostly around 100-115 beats per minute. Is it safe to think this is the worst of it, or is it likely she will continue to decline? Should I take her to the vet for treatment with activated charcoal and IV fluids?

My 6-year-old Chihuahua named Blue is holding her head up, her eyes are wide open, and she was crying. Earlier, she wouldn't bend her head down to pick up a treat, and she was treated for an ear infection 2 months ago. What could be causing her discomfort and what should I do?

My dog may have eaten mouse poison in the garage. He is not eating, vomiting about 7 times in the last 24 hours (initially red, now white foam), and showing no ambition. What should I do?

My dog, Java, a 20lb Schauzer, has been throwing up and having diarrhea for over a day. She can't keep anything down and has a very sensitive stomach. I suspect she ate something in the yard. Can I give her an 8mg ondansetron ODT pill meant for humans?
