Hello, our dog ate some cookies with a chocolate coating that contained Hershey's powder, butter, and sugar. I don't know how much. He vomited last night about 6 to 8 times. The last one was a lot and threw up a lot of the undigested cookie with chocolate and oats. That is how I figured out what was wrong. Also, this was past the two-hour mark that I had been reading about when trying to figure out what to do. After that, I kept an eye on him through the night. Today he is pretty tired and doesn't really want to drink or eat. Has not vomited today. Tried to give him some white rice and also been giving him some Gatorade diluted with water via a straw. His pulse is about 84. He gets up to bark at the door, but not much of anything else. He weighs about 15 lbs. At this point, how long before it is out of his system and how long to know he is okay?

I have a 10-year-old female golden Labrador retriever/husky mix named Mouse who has a history of aggressive behavior towards other animals, including our cats and kittens. Recently, she bit and killed one of our kittens when it approached her empty food bowl. I need advice on how to prevent future attacks and ensure the safety of all our pets.

My dog, Pickles, a Yorkie around 8 years old, has a bloated and hard stomach. She is not showing any signs of discomfort, pain, or distress, and is eating and drinking normally. She recently chewed on a mouse, but it's unclear if she consumed any of it. What should I do?

My 8-month-old Dachshund puppy, Penny, fell into a pond and was throwing up and acting lethargic afterward. The vomit was a bit foamy with some of her breakfast in it. She won't eat and her tummy is making noises. What could be causing this and what should I do?
