My 70-pound, 7-year-old Airedale named Daisy ate about 5-7 oz of plastic-wrapped chocolate cookies 30 hours ago. She is now acting weak, tired, and reluctant to get up. She has not vomited or had diarrhea, and there are no wrappers in her stool. What could be causing her sudden weakness and reluctance to move, and what should I do in the meantime until I can get her to the vet?

I accidentally gave my 18.4 lb cat 3cc of penicillin G IM (300,000 IU/mL) instead of the prescribed dose. The cat's hind leg where the injection was given is now numb and the cat can't walk on it. Should I take my cat to an emergency vet, and is there any concern about the leg being limp or nerve damage?

My dog, Fiona, a 7-year-old, sometimes shakes her head and scratches her ears. This morning, I noticed a bubble on the tip of her ear. I am on a fixed and tight income and heard warm compresses can help. What could be causing this issue, and what should I do to treat it?

My Yorkie, Niki, has been shaking a lot and wants to be held in a blanket. She started shaking on Thursday, had vomiting and diarrhea, but it didn't last long. She's been eating a little and sometimes gets scared of trucks beeping. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-year-old dog, Stella, has been constantly licking her paws raw for the last 5 months. She has received two Cytopoint shots, her food has been changed, and various over-the-counter treatments have been tried, but nothing is working. She has no other symptoms except for her two front paws being completely red and raw. What could be causing this and what further steps should be taken?
