My 7-month-old 50-pound dog, Geisha, just swallowed a 2-3 inch piece of blanket about 15 minutes ago. She hasn't vomited yet and seems fine. What should I do?

My dog ate a plate full of chocolate/peppermint cookies last night. She has been panting all night and today her stomach is hard. Should she be seen by a vet?

I am watching my mom's cavapoo, Bentley, who is 4 years old. I noticed she has blood in her urine this morning. She has been peeing more often in small amounts and licking herself more. She seems to have normal energy and is still eating well. What could be the issue and is there anything I can do to help her while waiting to take her to the vet?

My dog ingested at least one whole block of Tomcat mouse poison containing bromethalin. The closest vet is 2 hours away. How much of the mouse poison did the dog ingest? Has he vomited? How much are they going to charge me? What can I give my 9-year-old shepherd, who weighs 80 lbs, for inflammation and pain that won't harm her kidneys?
