My 21-pound, 4-year-old female Border Terrier named Lucy ate one 4mg Nicolette gum chicklett about an hour and 20 minutes ago. She has shown no symptoms so far. Is this enough to go to the vet, and what should I watch for?

My 8-week-old puppy, Romeo, has ear mites. I noticed dark, bumpy ear wax and he seems to be bothered by his ears at night. I have Posatex and TrizUltra + Keto on hand but am unsure if they are safe or effective for treating ear mites in puppies. Additionally, I have a 4-year-old dog on Simpartica. Do I need to treat him as well? Should I clean and switch bedding like with lice? What is the recommended treatment for ear mites in puppies?

My dog, Sam, a shorkie aged 11, has had dark red blood at the end of his poop twice in the last three days. He recently ate a piece of NY chicken parma sub, which might have had sauce. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 100-pound Old English Sheepdog has very bad breath with excessive plaque buildup, which seems to seep out through his skin. I have changed his food, had his teeth cleaned including an extraction, and found that antibiotics given during the extraction cleared up the breath issues. I've heard that putting him on antibiotics periodically might help. What could be the root cause of this issue, and what should I investigate or do next?

My dog, Otis, who just turned 7, suddenly experienced shaking and couldn't hold himself up, leaning to the right. This lasted about 4 minutes and there was no coughing, limping, or drooling. He is currently walking normally and seems mentally appropriate. What could this be and what should I do?
