We have taken our dog to the vet twice due to lethargy, whining, loss of appetite, and lack of thirst. She has been taking prescribed medications (Tramadol, methocarbamol, and carprofen) for several days with no results. We initially thought she was injured after being rolled by a larger dog, but lab work showed no signs of infection, and her temperature is 100.5°F. We found a dark-colored tick on her earlier in the week, and she has ataxia. What additional tests or considerations should we discuss with our vet?

My 80lb golden retriever ate my 10mg Lisinopril. Should I be concerned? The dog, named Sam, is 2 years old and very healthy. He ate the pill just a few minutes ago and has not thrown up since.

We have a 17-year-old bichon who has been stable on seizure meds for 1.5 years. Tonight, she is showing odd listless behavior, won't eat, has thrown up twice, and seems disoriented. Her mouth was opening and closing like she was chewing before the throw-ups. Might these symptoms be seizure-related?

My Jack Russell/Mex has a recurring rash problem that he licks and chews, especially on his paws. Could this be from some type of worm infestation? If so, what could fix it?
