A 13-year-old bichon was mistakenly given an additional 24.3 mg of phenobarb tonight. The routine order is to take 1.5 tablets (16.2 mg) every 12 hours for a seizure disorder. No untoward effects have been noted at this time. What should I look for?

A few days ago, I noticed my dog had a tuft of fur missing from her scalp and a sore. The next day, the bald spot was bigger, there were more sores, and her scalp looked excessively greasy. Today, the bald spot is the size of a softball, it's covered in sores and this hunter green sludge. I tried to wipe off the green stuff, but either it won't come off or I wasn't putting enough pressure (It hurt her too badly.) I tried to cleanse it with salt water, but that did nothing. What is this?

My Staffordshire Terrier stopped eating about five days ago, now he's stopped drinking water and hasn't had a bowel movement since he went off his food. He's usually very friendly but now hides and wants to be left alone. I'm very concerned about his refusal to drink and constipation - and his breath smells extremely strong almost fecal like. Are enemas ever appropriate for dogs? Does this sound like a bowel obstruction? What would you do if this were your dog?

I accidentally gave my dog Tylenol for pain. What can I do to rectify the situation if anything?
