My 9lb chihuahua, Cheech, ate an entire dark chocolate cacao bar about the size of a Kit Kat bar, which is 70% cacao, in the past 20 minutes. He hasn't thrown up yet. What should I do?

My dog, Drax, has been avoiding movement for a few days, and when he does move, his back is arched and he shakes afterward. He's not favoring any specific leg, and his legs/feet look normal. What could be causing this behavior, and what should I do?

My dog, Bella, is itching and shedding hair. When did you first notice the itchiness? Has the dog been licking or rubbing the skin? What's the dog's name and age? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you? How much do I pay today?

My 1-year-old dog, Winston, a Bernese mountain dog and golden retriever mix, bites me hard during walks when I try to prevent him from eating trash or other items. This behavior only occurs during walks and not at other times. What can be done to address this issue?

My 19-month-old, 90lb dog, Maya, is having labored breathing, appears anxious, and cannot lay down comfortably. She ate bouncy ball crystals from a 'create your own powerballs kit' around 2-3 pm. She has not vomited or had bowel movements since, and has not eaten or drunk anything since I got home. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do until I can get her to the vet?

Is it risky to have a perineal hernia surgery performed by a general practitioner instead of a board-certified vet surgeon, and what other issues might be affecting my dog Coby, such as hair loss on the tail tip, an inflamed anus during bowel movements, and an enlarged prostate?
