My Shih Tzu and Chihuahua mix, Rhianna, has not been eating for a week and is excessively licking her covers and foot. She is still energetic when outside but I suspect it might be her stomach. What could be the issue and what should I do?

I accidentally gave my 62lb dog, Fozzie, a 120 mg dose of carprofen with dinner, 10 hours after his morning dose. The bottle does not specify the dosage, but the pill says 100 mg. He was prescribed 120 mg per day. I thought it was twice a day. What should I do?

I have a 15-year-old West Highland Terrier named Jasper who has been experiencing a severe, dry cough that sounds like gagging or sneezing, followed by relief. The cough has been ongoing for about a year or two, worsening with travel and changes in weather. He has a history of allergies and ear infections, and the last vet visit suggested it might not be kennel cough or pulmonary fibrosis. He is not on heartworm preventative medication. What could be causing his cough and what can I do to help him until I can get him to the vet?

My 85-pound lab, Rylee (age 2), ingested about 30 pieces of various chocolate (mini Hershey bars, Hershey kisses, candy canes) about 20 minutes ago. I gave her 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide but she hasn't vomited yet. The hydrogen peroxide was expired. What should I do next?
