I have a 2-month-old female beagle puppy named Phoebe who has thrown up once and is having difficulty breathing. The vomit was liquidy with food. She is currently curled up in my lap, and her gums are pink. Her breathing issue seems to be related to her nose, coming and going. Could she have eaten anything unusual or is there something stuck in her sinuses?

My 6.5-month-old Border Collie, Molly, got hold of a bottle of Vitamin D drops (Genestra brand D-Mulsion 1000, 30ml bottle) and consumed what remained inside, likely half to a quarter full. What should I do and what are the potential risks?

My 8 lb year-old puppy potentially ate a piece of a chocolate-covered raisin. I got most of it out of her mouth, but it's been almost an hour. I know raisins are toxic to dogs, and it's 10 PM with no way to get her to the vet. Should I induce vomiting, and if so, how should I do it? What are the risks and follow-up care needed?

Both of my dogs have red eyes with discharge, and my female dog has a pitch-black spot in one of her eyes. One dog's eye is swollen and appears to be squinting, while the other's eye looks fine except for the black spot, which reduces with saline water wash. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My 5-pound Chihuahua, Spark, ate some aloe plant leaves about 4-8 hours ago. He has not vomited and seems totally normal. He had dental surgery last week to remove 10 puppy teeth. What should I do?

My dog Louie, who is turning 3 in 3 months, has suddenly developed a swelling on his paw that is getting bigger. He has never had this issue before and has been licking his paws more than usual. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?
