My 9-year-old dog, Col. Beakers, has constant shakes and tremors, refuses to eat, hides and whines, and has sticky pink gums. He drinks water frequently but still appears dehydrated. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to help him?

My 15lb dog, Woody, ate 2.50 oz of chocolate mixed with caramel and raspberry filling about an hour to 1.5 hours ago. He has been drinking lots of water but hasn't vomited. What should I do to ensure he's safe from chocolate toxicity?

My 8-year-old chocolate Labrador, Ella, weighs 60 lbs and ate about 8 oz of milk chocolate about 2 hours ago. She hasn't thrown up and seems normal. Should I be concerned, and is there anything I should do?

We got our puppy, Reggie, just over a week ago. He is 9 weeks old and started having diarrhea after 3 days. He was up every hour the first night, and it would start as diarrhea and then become liquid. We brought him to the vet, who gave him a probiotic and recommended no treats, just dog food. His poop solidified briefly but then the diarrhea returned. We sent a sample to the vet, who found no worms or parasites. Reggie is in pain when trying to poop, and his anus is starting to get a purple tinge. We are feeding him Purina Pro Plan shredded chicken and rice, which is what the breeder was feeding him. How can we help Reggie get regular and what else should we consider?

My puppy, Grizzly, got a very small amount of rat poison. He hasn't vomited since ingesting it. What should I do to ensure his safety and when are we out of danger?

My Schnauzer, Rocco, will be 2 in April. He had one seizure a month ago and has now had four seizures since yesterday around 4 PM central time. I've tried to get him into a vet and an emergency vet, but they are full. What can be done for him, and is there a chance he could pass from these seizures?
