My dog had oral surgery yesterday with cauterization of an oral tumor. He was given aspirin for pain but cried non-stop, so we gave him acepromazine to help him sleep. He is now groggy and whiny, and we are waiting to give him tramadol. Is it safe to give him tramadol, and would it sedate him too much?

My 3-year-old pug, Benny, woke up lethargic and unusually docile. He has not had any messes in the house and did not eat his breakfast, but he ate a dental treat later. He also chewed some stuffing from his bed. What could be causing his behavior and what should I do?

I gave my 35 lb wheaten terrier, Tempi, a second dose of K9 Advantix II after two weeks since the first dose, but noticed many fleas on her stomach and vagina. She has been acting skittish, sitting and dragging her rear across the carpet, panting, shaking, and licking her rear legs. The other pets in the house do not have fleas, and Tempi has been treated with the same product. When can I apply another product to get rid of the fleas?

My 75-pound dog ate a few small chocolate cake crumbs I dropped at 7:30 (eastern). She just spit up a little bit around 4am. Should I take her in for chocolate poisoning?

I am a first-time dog owner with a 24-month-old, male, purebred Pit Bull named Kane. He has severe allergies causing sneezing and red eyes, and he exhibits unusual behavior such as constant ejaculation despite not being neutered. Is his allergy condition requiring immediate medical attention, and is his constant ejaculation normal or a sign of health issues?
