My Chihuahua, Pookie, is 5 years old and can't move his hindquarters, is shivering, and was lifeless after having diarrhea for 3 days. He now whines when trying to move his back legs and hurts when they are moved. What could be wrong with him?

My husband and I accidentally gave my 20lb, 13-year-old Chihuahua mix, Panama, double doses of his heart medications (Enalapril 5mg, Vetmedin 3.75mg, Amlodipine 2.5mg, and Lasix 20mg). He seems fine, but should I take him to the vet immediately?

My dog, Rogue, has been acting like she is choking, possibly due to swallowing stick debris from chewing on sticks. She has not vomited since ingesting the sticks two days ago and is currently making a rattling sound as if congested. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Gracie, a 15-pound, one-year-old, ate a small amount of a mini brownie from the sidewalk. She threw up around noon but has otherwise been acting normal. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and is there anything I should do?

My 5-month-old dog, Lotti, ate some CBD/THC pain balm. She consumed less than 2 fluid ounces about 5 minutes ago and hasn't thrown up yet. I'm wondering if I need emergency care. What should I do?
