I have two small dogs, a one-year-old Maltese named Ruby and a six-month-old Maltese/Shih Tzu named Marshall. They accidentally drank about 2 ounces of regular coffee with cream. I'm unsure if I need to induce vomiting, take them to the emergency vet, or if they will be okay. How long ago was it ingested, do they each drink about the same amount, and what are their weights?

Hello! My dog was excited to come out of her crate and I was opening the door. She tried to bust out, and in trying to teach her to wait, I shut the door. She was trying to bust out again, and I'm not sure if she scratched her eye. I noticed a red mark, possibly a scratch, but she didn’t cry. I'm worried because it's all rusted. Could she get tetanus? Is this okay?

My chihuahua, Bear, has facial swelling. When did you first notice this swelling? Does the Chihuahua lick the skin as well? What's the Chihuahua's name and age? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

My Shih Tzu/Bichon puppy (6 months old, 10 lbs) ate a small piece of Stilton cheese (about 1/2 teaspoon size). Do I need to worry, and what should I look out for?

My dog has chewed the top of his tail so badly that it is raw and won't heal. He is in pain and screams when touched. What can be done to help heal the wound and alleviate his discomfort?

My URI dog is shivering, has heavy breathing, decreased appetite, and nasal discharge that is sometimes yellow and sometimes clear. She's been on doxy and cough tabs for a week but her condition seems to be worsening. Should I take her to the ER?
