My Basset Hound puppy, Oren, ate a large amount of dog food (about 1/3 of an 8 lb bag) about an hour ago. He weighs 15 lbs and has not vomited yet. What should I do to prevent potential food bloat, which can be life-threatening?

My dog, Callie, a 15-year-old border collie/lab mix weighing roughly 55 lbs, may have eaten about half a medium-sized raw yellow onion within the last 4 hours. There has been no vomiting. What should I do, and is there any risk to her health?

My 10-pound, 1-year-old dog, Daphne, ate three pieces of homemade no-bake cookies containing 6 tablespoons of Hershey's cocoa powder. She has vomited since then. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and what should I do?

My dog, Ace, ate some spicy wings and old pizza a couple days ago. Now he's been vomiting and is lethargic. He also had diarrhea that day but hasn't had any since. What should I do?

Our dog, Atlas, a Doberman and Labrador mix, has been vomiting and lethargic for about 3 days, with a decrease in appetite over the past week. Despite lab work and X-rays, the cause remains unknown. He cannot keep food or water down and is very low in energy. What can we do at home, and is there a way to administer IV fluids at home to keep him hydrated?

I accidentally gave my 70-pound, 8-year-old diabetic dog named Gretta her other dog's dose of 200mg amantadine. She also took her normal medications, which include carprofen, metoclopramide, omeprazole, and gabapentin, at the same time. She has not eaten yet and has not had her nighttime insulin. What should I do about her insulin and should I be concerned about her diabetes?
