My 20-pound dog, Ruby, ate an old piece of extra gum (peppermint flavor) that had already been chewed for at least an hour. It was a couple of days old and not sugar-free. She hasn't vomited since eating it, and I gave her 2 tablespoons of peroxide about 1.5 hours ago. Is there any cause for concern, and should I take any further action?

If the gum Ruby ate was not sugar-free, she should not have any significant issues, especially since...

My dog, Doir, ate 3 chicken wing bones last night and is making sounds like he has hiccups or something stuck. He weighs 12 pounds and is 2 years old. He hasn't vomited yet but seems like he wants to. He is drinking water, sometimes shakes, and makes a sound of pain. What should I do?

Both my dogs ate a ziploc bag of brownies. One dog weighs 73 pounds and the other 80 pounds. They may have eaten 7-10 brownies about 15-20 minutes ago. The older dog is 7 years old and the younger one is 2 years old. What should I do and what are the signs of chocolate poisoning?

My dog, Xander, is 4 years old and has been bleeding from where he pees. This started this morning and there is an unusual smell. He seems normal otherwise, but my brother mentioned it happened when he got excited. Xander has arthritis in his left knee and a long cleft palate, which causes breathing issues during hot weather. He takes trazodone only when needed. He was tested for a UTI about 3 months ago, which was negative, but he has been peeing in the house despite being fully trained. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My husky, Sky, swallowed a piece of wild animal leftovers (looked like squirrel skin) about 30 minutes ago. She took it whole and I couldn't take it away from her. What should I do to ensure her safety and should I take her to the vet if she shows any signs of illness?

My sister's dog, Bella, is showing signs of distress, including being unable to poop, feeling cold and clammy, and experiencing panic. She is 16 years old and not on any medications. What should we do, and are there any emergency vet clinics available in the 95691 area?
