My 65-pound Labrador ate a small grape about an hour and a half ago. We have tried to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide twice but haven't succeeded. What should we do next, and how much time do we have to get treatment?

My dachshund/yorkie mix, Toby, who is 9 years old and has CHF and cardiomegaly, accidentally received a full 5mg enalapril tablet instead of his usual half. He weighs 19 pounds and has not vomited. He also takes lasix 12.5mg and Vetmedin 1-25mg, but lasix was withheld for now. What should we do?

My dog, Major, is experiencing very watery diarrhea with blood. He has pooped in the house three times today, with increasing amounts of blood. He hasn't drunk any water today, and his water bowl is still full. He has been chewing on things around the house, but I don't know if he ate anything unusual. He's about a year old and we got him from a shelter a week ago, so we don't know his medical history. What should I do?

My 12-year-old golden retriever, Chance, is laying on his side and has labored breathing. He seemed fine at lunchtime but now appears to be in distress. Should I check his gums and respiratory rate?
