My dog ate ant poison (Acephate, brand-name Orthene) and is now shaking. How much of the ant poison did the dog eat? Has he vomited? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you? He is a Shih Tzu, 8 lbs.

My 7-year-old Shih Tzu, Charlotte, injured her toenail today. She had a minor limp, and after trimming the snagged nail, there was a small amount of blood. Now, there's a small purple bruise on the nail bed and a small chip in the toenail. Her paw doesn't feel swollen or broken, but her toenail hurts her. What should I do?

My standard poodle, Lydia, is shaking, tilting her head, and her ears smell. She is almost 4 years old and is eating and drinking normally, but seems very uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 20 lb long hair Dachshund ate 1 to 1.5 lbs of raw pork. His stomach is distended, he's drinking a lot of water and peeing, and his stomach is gurgling. He's tired, uncomfortable, and restless but not in pain. Is this an emergency or should we wait it out?

My dog, Theo, has been limping on his left hind leg for about 6 weeks. He is fine during walks but shows discomfort at other times. I suspect it might be related to his hip or rotator. He saw a vet 12 weeks ago and is currently not on any medications for this issue. He has allergies and eczema and is a rescue dog. What could be causing the limp, and what should I do to help him?
