Soleil is currently on several medications including Tramadol, Methocarbamol, Doxycycline, Omeprazole, Probiotic, and Cerenia. He has pain and had severe side effects from Rimadyl, leading to ICU admission. His bloodwork is normal, but he has gained weight and has arthritis. He was treated for Helicobacter, a human bacteria, with no known source of infection. What is the appropriate dosage for Soleil's medications, and are there any alternatives to Doxycycline for treating Helicobacter?

My two German Shepherd females got into a massive fight. One of them has a swollen paw and is limping badly. Can I give her anything for pain? I plan to wrap it gently and call the vet today, but I have to work and don't want her to be in pain.

I have a stray bull mastiff who was given an overdose of injectable antibiotics and is now refusing to eat, vomiting, and acting drunk. Additionally, there is a possibility that he has eaten poisoned rats containing bromadiolone. What should I do to help him, and is there an antidote available for bromadiolone poisoning?

I'm watching a friend's miniature pinscher named Thor, who is about 2 years old. This morning, I found that he had eaten a part of a styrofoam chicken tray from the trash. He seems fine, ate his food, had a treat, and took a poop. Should I do anything until I can check on him later today, or wait for the owner to come home tomorrow?

My dog, Buddy, is very sick. He is lethargic, won't eat, and has crusty discharge with a terrible smell coming from his ear. He is 15 years old and we can't afford to take him to a vet. What could be causing this and what can I do to help him?

My 2-year-old male dachshund suddenly can't walk, and his back legs aren't working. I checked for wounds and found none. He was fine at lunchtime and runs around a lot with his 6-month-old girlfriend. What could be causing this and what should I do?
