I accidentally gave my 66-pound dog, Pearl, a Trifexis for dogs (44-60 pounds) instead of her usual Simparica Trio for dogs (44-80 pounds). Will the Trifexis provide adequate protection for her weight, or should I give her the Simparica in a couple of weeks? Additionally, I am concerned about overloading her system with different medications and giving her next dose of Simparica too early.

My 2.5-year-old Giant Schnauzer, Zoe, was due to give birth 2 days ago (day 63). She showed signs of stage 1 labor on day 63, but no actual labor progressed. On day 66, she is still not progressing to actual labor. She has frequent urination and a lot of clear mucus discharge, but her temperature is stable at 100 degrees. I am concerned about a possible green discharge seen on Sunday, which might indicate a sac broke inside and the pups possibly died. Is this normal, or should I be worried and consider taking her to an emergency vet?

My dog, Suzy, a 10-pound, 11-year-old, fully vaccinated dog, drank a significant portion of a tequila sample from a Christmas stocking stuffer. She has not vomited, but she pooped indoors, which is unusual for her, and she has been chewing on things, which is also not typical. What should I do to ensure her safety and well-being?

My 2-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, Arrow, ate the corner of a chicken packet, including the styrofoam tray and white paper. She weighs 55lbs and it happened about 40 minutes ago. She seems fine and has not vomited. I've given her some hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Will she be okay?

My 8-week-old puppy, Holly, ate a small c-shaped slice of onion about 1 inch long by 0.25 inches wide. What should my next steps be?
