Both my dogs ate chocolate while we were gone within the last hour. One dog is 25 pounds and probably ate about 3 to 4 oz of milk chocolate, and the small dog weighs about 7 pounds and ate about an ounce. What should I do and what symptoms should I watch for?

My 2-year-old dog, June, came in from outside with one side of her face swollen. I treated her with 30mg of Benadryl, and the swelling has reduced slightly but spread to more of her face.

My Jack Tzu is 45 days pregnant and hasn’t eaten in a day, has been vomiting up yellow bile. Her nipples have gotten darker and her belly seems smaller. Is this normal for a pregnant dog, and what should I do?

My 48-pound labradoodle, Gussie, ate about 2 ounces of a 60% dark chocolate bar. She is 13 and a half years old. She has not vomited since eating the chocolate and seems okay. Does she need to go to an emergency vet?
