My dog, Arlo, who is 1 year old and weighs 35-40 pounds, has been shaking his head, losing balance, and sleeping excessively for the past couple of weeks. He also threw up last night and seems to be getting worse. He hasn't seen a vet in about 3-4 months and isn't on any medications. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My dog, Arlo, a 40-pound, one-year-old dog, ate a 15g square of Ghiradelli dark chocolate (mint filled) about 30 minutes to an hour ago. He has not vomited since. Is this a cause for concern, and what should I monitor for?

My dog may have eaten some chocolate. I gave her activated charcoal. Is it okay for her to eat normal dog food? The dog is about 19lbs and ate an ounce of semi-sweet chocolate chips within 20 minutes. She seems normal so far, with no vomiting. What symptoms should I watch for that would require taking her to the hospital?

Two large dogs, a German Shepherd named Juniper (9 months) and a Great Dane mix named Jacko (4-5 years), got into a bottle of 500 mg Acetaminophen. We don't know if or how many they may have eaten. We tried to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide but were unsuccessful due to their strength. What should we do to prevent or treat potential acetaminophen poisoning?

My 11.5-year-old Doberman was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma around his tooth, and the only option now is partial lower mandible removal, which I feel is not humane at his age. Will this likely metastasize, and is he more likely to die from his age rather than the cancer?
