Gave a stray puppy tylenolQ: We gave a stray puppy 1/4 tsp of tylenol. we didn't know it was bad for the puppy to have tylenol, and will use asprin from now on. what we need to know is what will happen to him now that he's had it. could it harm him seriously? what should we expect or what side effects will there be now that we have given it to him? is there anything we can give him to counter it? he is a stray mixed breed dog, that weighs about 10lbs.

Smelly dog after being outsideQ: My golden smells bad after being outside. i only let her out to relive herself. i live in florida and is is very humid and hot here so it is almost as if she is sweating this odor. i had a jack russel that died recently and he never had this problem but my friends black lab does. she dosent scratch, have sores, bad breath, or anything, just this stench after being outside. i've noticed that you suggest a diet change and was wondering why you suggest the flaxseed oil and such? could this be the problem? A: When i hear about body odor issues, etc without visually external skin lesions or ear problems, then i often suspect dietary issues or sensitivities as poor digestion, etc has been linked with all sorts of systemic problem. think of a person who is sensitive to garlic who if eats a little garlic, will exude it right through their skin. however if your dog only smells after being outside in a particular area, then perhaps she is being exposed to some sort of chemical on lawns she is allergic to or perhaps inhalent allergens which actually flax seed oil might help. but usually allergies cause some sort of itching which is why if pets not itchy, then i start with better diets, supplements, etc
