My elderly dog, Cocoa, who is about 12 or 13 years old, suddenly could not stand on her hind legs and almost fell down the stairs. She seemed fine after a few minutes, but I am worried. Has she had problems with arthritis or back problems in the past? What could be causing this issue, and what should I do next?

My dog, Petey, a 22-pound 6-year-old, may have swallowed a 300mg Wellbutrin tablet. I tried to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide but am unsure if it worked. What should I do next?

My Norwegian Elkhound, Dallas, has an aural hematoma in her very hairy, stand-up ears. I just noticed it today, and she is not on any medications. Dallas is 7 years old, and we have a 6-month-old shepherd puppy who often munches on Dallas's face/ears, which might be the cause. My vet is closed due to a storm, so what can be done until they reopen?

My Yorkie, Sambo, has 4 itchy sores on his back. He's been licking and rubbing the area, and I noticed the itchiness on Monday. Sambo is 6 years old and has had similar issues before, but they went away. He's on Simparica for flea prevention, with the last dose given on October 31. What could be causing the sores, and what should I do?
