I have a 5-month-old Rottweiler who had 5 vomits in the evening and two episodes of diarrhea. As a family doctor, I would like to know how to calculate the dosage for Phenergan or Reglan for the dog.

I have a Gordon setter named Alder who is usually energetic but this morning he is lethargic, won't eat, and is initially unsteady on his feet. His bowel movement and urination were forced. I live on an island in southeast Alaska and no vet is available until the 19th. What should I do?

Our 2-year-old Lhasa has developed an odd behavior of snapping at flies in the air when there are no flies, and also shows aggression, which sometimes seems to trigger it. What could be causing this behavior?
