My puppy, Ella, may have eaten some Tomcat rat poison containing diphacinone. She weighs about 4 to 5 pounds and is 8 weeks old. She hasn't vomited yet and is currently sleeping with no perceptible signs of poisoning. What should I do to ensure her safety?

My 12-year-old chiweenie, Zayda, has been acting drunk, wobbly, confused, and lethargic for the last few hours. She threw up an hour ago and is now extremely tired. She ate her regular breakfast but refused dinner, which is when she became lethargic. We gave her lunch meat and bread, which she also threw up. Her eyes stay focused straight ahead, and she has a hard time sitting straight. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a small dog, a Shih Tzu mixed with a Maltese, who is usually hyperactive but now is always laying down. When I touch his lower side near his rear end, he whimpers and tries to bite because it's painful. My mom mentioned he bled a bit the last time he pooped, and he seems to find it painful when we pick him up, causing him to urinate frequently. What could be causing his pain, and what should I do?

I made a protein shake with milk, ice, and protein containing xylitol. My 92-pound dog, George, licked the outside of the container, possibly ingesting a very small amount of the shake. Should I be concerned?

I found a packet of Portulaca grandiflora seeds on the ground and I’m not sure if my dog, Daisy, ate them or not. She’s 47 pounds and the seeds are super tiny. It was about 20 minutes ago and she hasn’t thrown up and is playing like normal. She also chewed up the growing pellet which is soil. Should I induce vomiting or wait and see if she throws up?
