My 45 lb Border Collie ate 1/5th of a chocolate cake. Should I induce vomiting, and what should I do if it's been more than an hour since she ate it?

Our 80 lb lab mix vomited and had several stools, initially being lethargic but now walking and having more bowel movements. Should we go to the ER vet or wait until morning to see our regular vet?

My 4-year-old cocker-poodle is hesitant to go up stairs, seems distant, and prefers to stay outside in the winter. What could be causing her behavior and what can I do to help her?

My 6-year-old obese beagle started breathing through his mouth and can't seem to lay down comfortably. His gums are pink, he is drinking water, and his eyes are clear. What could be causing this and what can I do to help?

I have a female Maltese, 11.5 years old, 6 pounds, in great shape. Two days ago, she was vomiting clear fluid and then some grass. She regained her appetite after that. Yesterday, she had a good appetite, but overnight and through the night, she was shivering, her ears are hot, her body is very warm, and she has no appetite now, though she just took some water. Should I be alarmed?
