I took my dog for a quick rinse in 63-degree weather, used a blow dryer on low heat to dry her, and now she's inside with the door open. Can she catch a cold? I also used a medicated shampoo that she licked, and I'm worried about her ingesting it. Additionally, she stepped on a wet spot outside, possibly a dead bee or slug, and I'm concerned about her health. I also had to disinfect after my grandma touched raw chicken and didn't wash her hands, and I'm worried about potential contamination. My dog also ate a fly and something off the floor, and I'm unsure if it was safe. She also got into a fight with my cats and was scratched on the nose. I'm also concerned about giving her medicine at the right times and if it's safe to give it slightly earlier or if the ointment I have is still good to use.

My dog, Loki, who is 12 weeks old, won’t eat or drink for about 5 hours. He doesn’t have diarrhea or vomiting, and he doesn’t seem to be in pain. He has all his vaccinations. What should I do?

My dog, Lex, has had a couple of bowel movements with blood in them. She's had this happen before, and we're trying to figure out if we need to go to the emergency vet. She's been acting normal otherwise, but she keeps going outside and straining without producing stool. Her alkaline phosphatase (AP) enzyme levels are high, but her liver function tests were fine. What should we do?

My 10lb, 11-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Tachi, has been experiencing head and eyebrow twitching, nystagmus, and excessive drooling after taking an Omega-3 supplement. Should we induce vomiting, offer water, or take any other immediate actions? We are unable to reach an emergency vet due to capacity issues within a 50-mile radius.

My dog, Kodi, a 5-pound, 1.5-year-old dog, just ate an unknown amount of chocolate from a small bag. I need to induce vomiting but am unsure how. How should I proceed, and is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide for this purpose?
