I'm pet sitting and just got home to find the dog I'm watching has eaten about 8 oz of milk chocolate fudge. The dog weighs about 30 pounds and is 7 years old. Will he be okay or should I take him to the vet?

My dog, Bruce, a 4-year-old, started vomiting after his usual dinner of Origin kibble. He has since thrown up four times, is eating a lot of grass, and drinking a lot of water, all of which he keeps throwing up. He had his usual monthly dose of Simparica yesterday and likes to catch and eat bugs. He also takes glucosamine chondroitin daily and licked my almond milk granola bowl today. What should I do?

I have a 14-year-old pug named Grace who has a yeast infection affecting her paws, ears, and vulva, causing intense itching and discomfort. She has a history of pancreatitis and currently eats duck and potato dog food. I suspect the potatoes in her food might be contributing to her yeast infection. What should I feed her temporarily to avoid exacerbating her pancreatitis, and what topical treatment can I use for her itching until I can see the vet?

My 13-year-old golden retriever is not eating, vomiting, lethargic, weak, and has difficulty standing due to severe arthritis in his back hips. He also has trouble with bowel movements, appearing 'leaky' but unable to go. He was previously treated with boiled chicken and rice, which helped temporarily, but now he is vomiting undigested food and refusing to eat. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have an 8-year-old yellow lab named Rosie who has had hot spots on her face and it's slightly coming back. I've sprayed canine hydro cortisone on the affected area. Should I just continue?

I have a 4-5 pound Yorkie Peek-a-poo dog with a sore on his front leg/paw. The sore looks like an abscess and the dog has been walking on it. I can't afford an expensive ER visit and want to know what I can do at home to help my dog. What should I do and what should I look for to monitor the condition?
