My whippet injured her back leg and can't put any weight on it. She is restless and trying to change positions frequently. I can't find a local emergency vet and need to know what I can do to help her until we can take her to her regular vet in the morning.

My dog Lou slept through the night and is now lying down on his own. He is doing a bit better, but I want to know what, if there is anything I can do to help him.

My 11-year-old golden retriever ate a package of beef snack sticks from Hickory Farms and has since not eaten, thrown up green bile when drinking water, and has a known allergy to beef. What should I do to help him?

I have a 10-year-old chihuahua named Paco who has had hiccups for over 30 minutes. He is very anxious and shaking from the anxiety. What can I do to make him more comfortable or get rid of the hiccups?

My dog ate a box of chocolates and has vomited about 15 times. He is drinking a lot of water. We are watching him closely. I am sure the fact that he is purging it from his system and keeping well hydrated is the right thing. We don't live close to any 24-hour emergency vets but ironically he has a vet appointment tomorrow morning. What should I do?

Can Lyme disease or any tick-borne infection in a dog manifest as multiple different types of skin lesions and chronic irritations that don't respond well to repeated steroid and antibiotic/antifungal therapy? The dog began showing symptoms at age 2 and has had 3 growths removed, one of which was malignant. The human in the house was diagnosed with Ehrlichiosis in 2012 and still exhibits debilitating joint pain. Is there a potential connection between the dog's symptoms and the human's condition?
