I'm dog sitting and two 10lb dogs ate a 2oz dark chocolate bar with caramel filling. The bar is gone, and one dog had a bit of diarrhea. This happened about 3 hours ago, and the owners come back in about 30 hours. Should I induce vomiting? Are there any adverse effects to doing that? The dogs seem normal but are always hyper. One is on urinary health food.

My dog Mogli has been lethargic for the past couple of days, not eating his regular food, and only eating a little plain rice with one egg in the last two days. He burps after even a single bite of food, which he didn't use to do. He doesn't seem excessively bloated, in pain, or constipated, but he has had only one small bowel movement in the past day. He's a healthy 6-year-old dog, and I'm worried about his sudden change in behavior. Is there imminent danger, and what can I do to help him until I can take him to the vet on Monday?

My mini Aussie Doodle, Figaro, ate about 4oz of silver sulfadiazine cream. He has already vomited most of it and doesn't seem to be in distress. Should I keep an eye on him or call my vet?

My puppy has been pooping worms for the past 3 days. I used half of a packet of Safeguard Canine Dewormer, but he's still pooping worms. Should I take him to the vet? He's also been breathing hard, which I'm not sure is due to being new to our home and afraid, but he's now getting comfortable and playing.
