My 6.5-month-old, 44-pound golden retriever, Izzie, ate a partial tube of my 1% cortisone anti-itch salve about 8 hours ago. She hasn't vomited since and seems fine. What should I do?

My 4-year-old male Beagle mix has developed allergies recently. He was given a shot about a month ago, but tonight he has redness around his nose and under his legs, is listless, and has a warm nose. His appetite is a bit more finicky than usual, but there are no changes in his stool. This started earlier in the fall, and the vet thinks it might be seasonal or related to something in the yard. What can I do to help him tonight before taking him to the vet tomorrow?

My dog, Buddy, a 9-year-old weighing 21 lbs, ate some milk chocolate (possibly 2-3 Hershey's Kisses). He has shown no signs of illness and has not vomited. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and what should I watch for?

I’m caring for a dog named Duke, who is 1.5-2 years old, and he has had 2 episodes of diarrhea with blood and vomited once, but is otherwise acting normal. Could he have eaten anything unusual, and what should I do?

My dog, Luna, has been refusing to eat since December 24, consuming only a few kibbles from my hand and throwing up bile twice. She has been sleeping all day and is ending her first period this week. She had blood in her feces on October 31 and a fever, but responded well to probiotics. What could be causing her lack of appetite and vomiting, and what steps should I take to help her?
