My 7-year-old Pointer Mix dog, Benny, is excessively licking and swallowing all of a sudden. He tried to vomit once but nothing came up. He eats 1 cup of food at night and weighs around 60 pounds. He has been resting comfortably but is constantly swallowing and licking his lips, which isn't normal for him. Could this be a concern, and should I take him to see a vet?

My 8-month-old lab puppy, Remington, tore into a bag of High Yield Weed & Feed. He weighs about 65-68 lbs and may have ingested a few granules. He seems fine, playing and happy, with no signs of lethargy or stomach pain. Can I give him something to counteract it just in case?

My dog, Lucy, accidentally received her evening medication only an hour after her afternoon one. She is taking mexiletine 3x a day and sotalol 2x a day. I am worried about a possible mexiletine overdose as she is breathing heavily, her breath is labored, and she is showing signs of anxiety and tremors. What should I do?

I have a 2-year-old Wheaten Terrier named Doobie. I've noticed that the hair on her front paws is changing from blonde to rust-colored. She licks her paws occasionally but not constantly. I've read about this type of dermatitis and need to know how to control it and get it back to its normal color. What could be causing this color change, and what steps can I take to address it?
