My 50-pound lab, Baylee, ingested a cold/flu pill containing 325 mg of acetaminophen, 10 mg of dextromethorphan HBr, and 5 mg of phenylephrine HCl. The pill was not an extended-release formula, and the ingestion just happened about 30 minutes ago. Baylee is 8 years old and otherwise healthy. What should I do?

My 9-year-old dog, Rex, started with diarrhea and has been vomiting everything since yesterday afternoon. He is very thirsty but immediately throws up any water he drinks. He has not been able to keep any food down, including treats, boiled chicken, and rice. He licked a pot of stew with a higher fat content than usual. What could be causing this and what should I do to help him?

My dog, Poe, threw up and had diarrhea while I was at work. He's now panting and won't go to sleep. He had a Natures Gnaws chew earlier, which is the only thing different from his normal diet. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Curlie, was bitten by another dog 12 hours ago. The bite is still bleeding, and Curlie is lethargic and not eating. I have given him Cefpodoxime 200mg for skin irritation and applied Vaseline around the bite. What should I do to treat the bite and ensure Curlie's health?

My dog, Nala, is limping on her front leg and I don’t know how she did it. It started about 30 minutes ago and nothing looks wrong from the outside, but I don’t know if she tore something. What could be the cause of her limping and what should I do?
