Our border terrier, Cruiser, is taking cefpodoxime 50mg for a lick granuloma. He has vomited the last two mornings and it's difficult to get him to eat. I don't want to give him cefpodoxime on an empty stomach. Would Pepto Bismol improve his appetite? Additionally, Cruiser has a flat, subcutaneous, semisolid structure on his foot that may be causing irritation, leading to excessive licking and chewing. Dead skin is peeling off and stuck in his fur over a larger area than the previous infection. Is this normal, and does it suggest a secondary fungus infection?

My dog Gucci has elevated calcium levels in her blood results. My vet is concerned and has taken X-rays, which did not show any tumors. What could be causing the elevated calcium levels, and what further tests or specialist consultations should I consider?

My 8-month-old Cairn Terrier, Makaira, chewed the top off a small tube of Aveda stress-fix body lotion before I could stop her. If she consumed some of the lotion, will it hurt her?

My dog, Bixby, a 20 lbs, 8-year-old Maltese Yorkie mix, was recently diagnosed with Cushing's and started on 30mg of medication 8 days ago. He was still drinking a lot and shaking, so the vet advised stopping the medication and scheduled an appointment. Today, he seems almost blind. What should I do?

Our puppy was playing this morning, but now he is not interested and is sleeping while his sisters are running around playing. We gave him some puppernoi this morning. Should we worry, and could he just have an upset stomach?
