Our black lab, Buddy, who is 9 years old, is panting and not walking on his left rear leg due to pain. He had a broken leg on the same leg when we rescued him, and it was never properly treated. What could be causing his current condition and what should we do?

My dog chewed up an ibuprofen and spit it out. It looks like she chewed it up and didn’t like the taste and spit it back out. So maybe about 1/2-1/3 of the actual pill. The ibuprofen was 200 milligrams. My dog is a 9-month-old chihuahua mix, weighing about 8-10 pounds. She is acting totally normal, but I’m not sure how much she may have ingested or how long ago it happened. Is there a way I can make her throw up or something?

My dog got her annual vaccines today and is having an allergic reaction. I gave her 50mg of Benadryl about 4 hours ago and another 25mg 3 hours ago. She is now awake again and very uncomfortable. What should I do next, and how often can I give Benadryl before needing to take her to an emergency vet?

My dog, Luna, who is 14 years old and has congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, suddenly started producing a lot of saliva that obstructed her airway and throat. She was very uncomfortable and panicky, and was not eating. Can I give her hydrocodone for this, and should I consult a vet?
