My 9-year-old dog, Duncan, a Pyrenees x Husky, is showing signs of abdominal discomfort such as changing positions and frequent vomiting, which started about an hour ago but seems to be improving. He is otherwise in good health except for being on thyroxine medication. He had a small amount of kibble at 5 am and a 4" deerhide rollup, which he has had before. What should I do to ensure he is okay and what signs should I watch for?

Will my English bulldog puppy, Posi, pass a dryer sheet he just ate on his own, or should I take him to the vet?

My 6-month-old puppy just ate 12 Werthers sugar-free caramel chocolate hard candies. She weighs about 12 lbs. Should I take her to a vet to be checked?

I noticed a smallish lump on my dog's tummy, just where the ribs part. The dog's name is Lilly, she is 7 and a half years old, and she is not neutered. She might be due in season soon, has been off food a bit, and has had some runs but not always. She is otherwise normal and happy. The lump is under the skin, quite soft, moveable, and doesn't seem to bother her. Could it be a hernia or a fatty lump? What should I do?

Hi, Tiger seems to be back to normal. Should I take him to the vet for an appointment at 1:20, or should I start making a journal to gather information for the vet? It costs a lot of money, and I want to ensure the vet has enough information for an evaluation. What is your opinion? We live in Sherman Oaks, CA.
