My 10-pound dog, Scotti, accidentally ingested 2.5 mg of pimobendan (prescribed for my other 15-pound dog). Scotti is 3 years old and has no known pre-existing medical conditions. What should I do, and what are the potential side effects of this medication?

Since Scotti does not have a pre-existing heart condition that would make pimobendan contraindicated...

My dog, Bolt, a 6-month-old weighing 28 pounds, just ate 3 grapes less than 5 minutes ago. I can't afford to go to the vet. What should I do?

My dog, Huso, has been continuously vomiting yellow and now has diarrhea with blood after eating cooked chicken. What could be causing this and what treatment should I provide?

My 13-year-old labradoodle had a calcium level of 13.2 on a recent standard blood panel. Our vet wants to run a calcium-specific test at a cost of $292. What could this tell us, and what could we do for our dog? She has bad hips and CCLs, is happy, and is managing fine with pain control. Should we find out if she has cancer, which we wouldn’t treat, or if she has a parathyroid issue? We love our dog but don’t want her to suffer with treatments.

My dog, Lincoln, a 21-pound Bichon Frise, might have swallowed a Nyquil pill. I don't know his exact weight but he's 2 years old. This just happened about 10 minutes ago, and he hasn't thrown up and seems alright for now. What should I do?

My Rottweiler puppy, Yogi, drank some soapy water. He's 5 months old, about 50 pounds, and we don't think he ingested much. He's been a little slower, had some foam around his mouth, but ate his dinner and rinsed his mouth. He hasn't vomited. What should I do to ensure he's okay?
