My Shih Tzu found a piece of D-con rat poison while visiting my mother. I do not believe he ate any, but he had it in his mouth for less than 30 seconds. He is almost 15 years old, weighs 15 lbs, and I used a wet towel to wipe out his mouth. Is he okay or what do I need to do?

My dog, Charlie, an 8-year-old weighing approximately 110-115lbs, ate a chocolate marijuana bar containing 80mg of THC about an hour ago. He has not vomited yet and seems fine, but my daughter reports he is a bit shaky. Should I make him vomit, and what should I watch for?

My older dog, Zeke, a 10-year-old German Shepherd, is experiencing heavy breathing, erratic heart rate, vomiting (mucusy, no food), loss of bowel control, and collapsed after going outside. He has pre-existing conditions of arteritis and hip pain. What could be causing these symptoms and what immediate steps can I take during a blizzard when no vets are available?

My 4-year-old black Labrador mix, Whiskey, has blood in his stool. His stool is very loose and there was a clear coating on part of it. He ate some grilled mushrooms and falafel recently. He's eating and drinking normally but is a bit more sleepy than usual. What could be causing this and what should I do?
