My dog, Gerald, a 3-year-old standard poodle, ate 3 blocks of cheese containing crushed chili, chili powder, jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, de arbol hot pepper, and trinidad scorpion chili. What should I do to ensure his safety and comfort, and can he still go on his regular walks?

My 10-year-old poodle shih-tsu mix named Guido suddenly stopped putting weight on his left hind leg after playing outside. He shows no signs of pain and has been very active with no previous health issues. Additionally, he seems to have allergies or a cold. What should I do for his leg and his respiratory symptoms?

I have 2 medium-sized dogs, one of which (or both) may have eaten apricot pits recently. There are no signs of distress at this time. Can 50-pound dogs pass more than one pit? The dogs' names are Madoc, a 12.5-year-old field setter, and Carson, a 10.5-year-old setter Aussie mix.

We have a new puppy (10 weeks old) who was exposed to kennel cough from another dog. He began coughing today and we have a vet appointment for tomorrow. My concern is that he just vomited foamy bile with heavy wretching, then a minute later wretched some more and vomited a small amount of mucous with blood in it. After he vomited, he wanted to eat grass. He also likes to chew on mulch since we brought him home on 7/6. What should we do and what should the veterinarian be aware of?
