Decoy is my grandlab. He's a big bruiser of a black lab currently in residence with us. He's a young boy learning the ways of a multi dog family. Granted, he's spent time with us before, just not day in and day out.

Q: I have a beagle who I put Hartz Flea and Tick medication on. She had a severe reaction and we went to the vet. He did x-rays and said the medicine had caused her to jerk so that her back and disc became inflamed.

He gave her four kinds of meds, but after three weeks she can hardly walk and is great pain. What should I do? Take her back? Get more medication? She is really suffering, except when she has a muscle relaxant.
