My 18-month-old Jack Russell Terrier has been increasingly lethargic over the last 24 hours. His temperature is 99.5°F, respiration is 40 breaths per minute, and his appetite has diminished. He is urinating normally but has not had a bowel movement since yesterday. He could have eaten something unusual, possibly including xylitol-containing wrappers, dark chocolate, or rat poison. What could be causing his lethargy and decreased appetite, and what should I do?

A pot-bellied pig named Dolly, around 2 years old and weighing approximately 75 lbs, was attacked by a dog, resulting in severe facial injuries. The local vet has sutured the wounds, but no pain medication has been administered yet. What kind of pain medication can be used for Dolly, and what are the best methods for cleaning and treating the wounds to prevent infection and reduce pain and inflammation?

My dog ate some trail mix with raisins and chocolate in it about 21 hours ago. He's about 45lbs and 5-6 years old. He had diarrhea twice, with some raisins in the second poop. Should I still be worried about toxicity? His heart rate is normal and otherwise acting his usual self.

My dog vomited several piles of chocolate, likely from eating some chocolate chips. The vomit is liquidy with chunks of her food. She is acting normal and drinking, but I'm concerned. What should I do?
