I've been giving her Marin tablets and she doesn't seem to mind them, but I'm wondering if I can purchase liquid Milk Thistle from a health food store and give it to her.

My 13-year-old rat terrier ate pork sausage and has been vomiting since. Today, he is listless, won't eat, and throws up water when he drinks. I can't afford vet bills. What should I do to help my dog?

My 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier has been diagnosed with severe chronic kidney disease and non-regenerative anemia. Despite treatment with Aranesp, antibiotics, and fluid therapy, his red blood cell count continues to decline. Given his heart condition, a bone marrow test is not an option. What can be done as a last step to help him?

I have a 3-year-old standard dachshund who experiences severe pain episodes every 2-3 months, characterized by rolling on his back, trying to climb all over me, crying, and literally screaming. He has been examined by a vet multiple times, including x-rays and CT scans, but no physical cause has been found. He is currently being treated with muscle relaxers and Rimadyl, but the episodes continue. What could be causing these painful episodes and are there alternative treatments available?
