A dog named Rosie, who is 1.5 years old and weighs about 50-60lbs, got into a bottle of chewable calm-down tabs and probably ate about half the bottle. She has been lethargic for a few hours but doesn't seem to be in distress. Should I take her to the vet, or is it safe to monitor her condition?

It is likely that Rosie will recover over the next few hours without any worsening of her condition....

My dog, Lester Buddy, is 17.5 years old and weighs 12 lbs. He accidentally ingested half a mg of klonopin, which is prescribed for me, and is now floppy with poor capillary refill. He usually takes 0.25mg for seizures and is deaf. What should I do, and what is a safe dosage for him?

My dog, Latcher, is almost 13 years old, 90 lbs, and on gabapentin 300mg daily and carprofen 75mg daily for hip and back leg nerve degeneration/arthritis. His appetite has been decreasing, and today he only ate 3 Vienna sausages after refusing his kibble with chicken broth and skins. Standing and moving is getting more difficult, and he seems a little bloated. What could be causing his decreased appetite and what should I do?

Our 3-year-old male English Setter, Magnum, ate a partial bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. He vomited up the chocolate and parts of the bag. He is now resting and seems okay. We are at a cabin 4 hours away from home. Is there anything else we should be doing?

My dog, Molly, is scratching and licking herself, leading to raw patches. I've tried store-bought sprays, a 50/50 vinegar and water solution, and Benadryl. Can I use Dr. Watkins Petrocare first aid salve?
