My dog ate 12 oz of 60% cocoa chocolate chips 13-14 hours ago. She has shown symptoms of restlessness, drunken gait, increased thirst, and incontinence, but no vomiting or diarrhea. She is 38 lbs and her heart rate is mostly around 100-115 beats per minute. Is it safe to think this is the worst of it, or is it likely she will continue to decline? Should I take her to the vet for treatment with activated charcoal and IV fluids?

My dogs have severe allergies to flea bites and have been through two cycles of prednisone, but the rashes and itching return once the prescription is finished. I give them Benadryl daily for the itching, but it doesn't seem to help anymore. I was wondering about the dosage requirements for Vistaril. The dogs' names are Hunter, Daisy, and Sissy. Hunter is a pit/boxer mix, 6 years old, 80 lbs, and on daily medication for hypothyroidism. Daisy is 4 years old, 55 lbs, and Sissy is 2 years old, 48 lbs. Neither Daisy nor Sissy have any other medical issues.

Good morning, my puppy, Mello, who is 1 1/2 years old, keeps licking the skin on the inside of his legs just above the pads of his feet, causing the area to become very red. He is outside a lot and could get into anything. I also feed him real food, including mock tender steak, but I think this condition started before I began feeding him that. What could be causing this and what can I do to help?
