My dog, Pumpkin, a 1.5-year-old weighing 52 pounds, ripped apart an already opened box of Brillo pads about twenty minutes ago. I'm concerned she may have ingested some. Should I make her throw up, and if so, what should I do afterward?

Our dog has a severe skin irritation that looks slightly bloody or puss-like on his neck. He has had itchy, dry skin for a long time but it has never been this bad before. What steps should we take until we can see our vet tomorrow?

My dog, Nala, a 6-year-old Morkie poo weighing 14 lbs, ate one raisin about 10 minutes ago. She has not vomited since and is generally healthy except for grass allergies. What should I do?

Hi Dr. Fields! Ada’s mom (Ashley) here again. Ada has had two episodes of urinary incontinence within the last 30 minutes. She is awake but groggy, can walk, ate dinner recently, and is tolerating food without vomiting. Her last poop was today and was formed and regular. She is not on any new medications and we have not tried any new foods today. She did tear a hole in our kitchen floor linoleum, but no chocolate or unfriendly doggy foods are accessible. What could be causing this and what should I do?
