My dog, Gracie, a 5-year-old, 47-50 lbs dog, ate a 10 oz bag of Hershey's Kisses about 15-45 minutes ago. She is in good health and on Reconcile daily for anxiety. What should I do and are there any potential health risks?

My dog, Parker, a mixed breed about 6-7 years old, has been lethargic, not eating, but drinking water, and sleeping a lot over the past two days. His nose isn't wet and is warm, and he is peeing and pooping normally. He doesn't seem to be in pain. What could be wrong and what should I do?

My dog, Nova, a 1-year-old weighing 60 lbs, ate 4 chocolate pancakes made from a kit containing cocoa powder. The pancakes were about 5 inches by 3 inches and 1/4 inch thick, and the kit used about 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. It has been 3 hours since she ate them, and she is acting normal. What should I do?

I'm pet sitting for my friends. Their little doggie, Wendy, who is around 12 years old, always gets depressed when they leave and usually doesn't eat for 2-3 days. This time it's the 6th day. She's weak and listless now. She does drink water but no food at all. What can I do to help her?

I was given a chihuahua and was never given any shots. I am planning to take her to Alabama, and airline requirements state that all dogs traveling out of state and into their final destination should have complete shots. What should I do to ensure my dog meets these requirements and what steps should I take to prepare her for travel?
