My dog, Gator, an American Bulldog aged 9, has been experiencing a sickly sweet smell, excessive thirst, urinary incontinence, lethargy, and decreased appetite for about a month. He seems to be unable to control his urine and has never had these issues before, despite recent surgeries. I suspect he might be diabetic and possibly in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). What should I do?

My 12 lb shi-poo, Bennie, who is 3 years old, ate 1 green grape about 3-4 hours ago. He yelped when I picked him up, but there is also vomit that could be from the cats. Should I be concerned about grape toxicity, and are there any other symptoms I should watch for?

My 12-pound dog, Sarah Flander, age 13, has a urinary tract infection and is on antibiotics with probiotics. She has had 3 doses of antibiotics spaced 12 hours apart and seems to be feeling worse or the same. Is this normal, and how long will it take for her to start feeling better? Additionally, I gave her a dental chew made of rawhide, and she seems to be constipated and nervous. What should I do?

My 5.5-month-old Samoyed puppy, Pancake, got into my tube of hand cream. The ingredients are non-toxic, but he punctured the tube, and it's hard to say how much he ingested. He hasn't vomited, and he's been in good health with no pre-existing conditions. What should I do to monitor and treat him if he shows any adverse symptoms?

My dog, Cuddles, a 12-year-old puggle weighing about 28 lbs, ate 8-10 pieces of Rolo candy wrapped in foil. We discovered this about an hour ago, and he has not vomited. What should I do, and is there any risk of chocolate toxicity?
