What are your thoughts on the medications and dosing for a dog post-TPLO surgery, and should Gabapentin be abruptly stopped from 600mg/day to nothing, or should the dosage be slowly reduced over time?

My dog ingested chocolate. There are no symptoms. She's about 7 lbs. I'm not sure of the exact amount, maybe an ounce. She hasn't thrown up. What should I do?

I have a 5-month-old puppy named Benny who is exhibiting protective behavior towards my 6-year-old autistic son, especially when we go to the park. He barks and becomes jumpy when my son moves away. What can be done to address this behavior?

I have a 5-month-old Havanese-Shih Tzu female puppy named Stella who was playing and slid on the floor, causing her to cry and limp on her right front leg. I examined her leg and found no pain upon palpation or joint movement, but she is tender when placing weight on it. Additionally, I have a 14-year-old Bernerdoodle spayed female who has been deteriorating in her hind quarters for months, and recently started dragging her left leg due to increased pain. I gave her gabapentin for pain relief, which helped, but today I discovered a very large, firm mass in her thigh muscle area. The mass is painful when palpated and seems to affect her ability to walk. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?
