I have a 14-year-old Chihuahua named Skittles who weighs about 6 pounds. She has a dry cough that started about 3 days ago. She is eating and drinking normally, but the cough is not constant but occurs frequently. I am considering if she might need an antibiotic. What could be causing her cough and what steps should I take?

My dog mistakenly drank some of my half decaf latte. Should I be worried? The dog is 62 lbs, drank a small amount (like a human sip), and it was just 5 minutes ago. The dog seems normal and has not vomited. The dog's name is Roo, she’s about 5 years old, and is a healthy dog with no known allergies.

My 80 lb Basset Hound ate a grape that had dropped to the floor. I know grapes are toxic. Has the Basset vomited since ingesting the grapes? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

My dog ate some tomato fertilizer and is showing signs of sickness, including diarrhea with some blood. He weighs 75 pounds and is acting normal otherwise. Should I take him to the vet, or can I monitor him at home?

My dog ate 90mg of weed chocolate. The dog weighs a little over 50lbs and has been quiet and bobbing since. What should I do and is my dog in serious danger?

My brother thinks his dogs may have ingested rat poison green cubes. Not sure how many were eaten, but there were 2 cubes missing from the pack. He gave them activated charcoal as recommended on the package. It's been two and a half hours since the incident. The dogs weigh around 100 pounds or less, and one is a nursing mother with five newborn puppies. What should we do next, and how can we confirm if they ingested the poison?
