My 1-year-old 7 lb dog chewed through a soft, sticky tape used to attach a cord cover to a lamp. I'm unsure if she swallowed much of it and am debating whether to induce vomiting at home or take her to an emergency vet. Is there a safe way to induce vomiting at home, and what precautions should I take?

My dog, Stormy, was hit by a car and can't move her hips or back legs. There are no 24-hour vets available in Va Beach, VA. What should I do? She won't eat or drink, her nose is wet, and her mouth is not white, but she is very injured. Her back leg has a laceration and is bleeding. There are no emergency vets open tonight or taking walk-ins.

My dog, Malachi, an 8-year-old 20lb dog, drank some hot chocolate with milk about an hour ago. It wasn't a lot, but I'm concerned. I tried to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide but couldn't get him to drink it. What should I do?

My two 10-pound dogs ate a couple of pieces each of Orbit strawberry gum containing xylitol. What should I do to ensure their safety, and how can I manage the potential financial burden of emergency vet care?
