My dogs ate sugar-free gum containing xylitol. One is 75 pounds and the other is 45 pounds, and they almost finished a whole package. Neither has vomited, and it might have been a couple of hours ago. What should I do?

My Frenchie, Taz, is 2.5 years old and has swollen lips and eyes, is constantly scratching, and looks very uncomfortable. I’ve noticed he licks my other dog’s ear where she has an ear infection. What can I do at home to help him?

My 11 1/2 year old beagle mix, Sarge, is not eating or drinking, very lethargic, and has been sitting in the same place for four hours. He usually eats around 7:00am but turned down treats and food today. He's also warm on his forehead and starting to shake a little. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 13-year-old ***** ***** Terrier, Sparky, has had a fever for an unknown duration. He has been panting, not eating for the last 4-5 days, drinking very little water, vomiting a few times, and has nasal discharge. We gave him 1/2 tramadol for pain, but he seems very uncomfortable and is shaking. Should I take him to urgent care tonight or wait until tomorrow?

My dog, Teddy, a 2-year-old, has been vomiting mucusy material after eating, and more so in the evening. He has not shown signs of diarrhea. Could he have eaten something unusual? Is this a condition that can wait until morning, or is it urgent? If not, when does it become urgent?
