My daughter told me that my dog ate some of her chocolate, about 4 Valentine truffles, which were a mix of milk and dark chocolate, approximately 1-2 hours ago. My dog weighs 19 pounds and has no pre-existing medical conditions or medications. What should I do and how long should I monitor him for any signs of toxicity?

My 6-year-old Chihuahua is walking with a bent front leg since this morning. He recently had his nails caught in his bed, but there is no bleeding or swelling. He is eating normally and not whimpering. What could be causing this issue, and what should I do?

My pet has three reddish/brown, nickel to quarter-sized round circles on its belly. I just noticed them tonight and my pet hasn't been scratching or licking at them. What could these circles be and what should I do?

My dog woke up with an alarming wound under her ear that’s oozing pus. There was no noticeable issue last night, but her bed has spots where the pus oozed onto it. She’s not bleeding, there’s no apparent swelling, and she’s not in severe pain. I’m concerned it could be a bite from a poisonous spider we’ve seen in the yard recently. What could be causing this wound and what should I do?

My 50-pound German shepherd ate 5 grapes 20 minutes ago. She has shown no symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy and is still acting normally. What should I do to ensure she is safe, and is there any risk of grape toxicity?

My dog accidentally chewed a 200mg tablet of ibuprofen but I’m not sure if he actually ingested any. Should I take him to the vet?
