My dog ate silica gel beads. Is that toxic or poisonous for dogs? The dog has not vomited and it's been about 25 minutes since the incident. The dog swallowed a good amount of beads and the packet itself. The dog weighs 10 lbs.

My 14-year-old pitbull, Zuko, started breathing loudly and as if coming from his diaphragm after a long walk where he pulled hard on the leash. He doesn't have a cough. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I gave my 4-year-old Boston Terrier, Liberty, a small piece of milk chocolate (about 2 inches of a Milky Way bar) and then administered 4 teaspoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, but she hasn't vomited after 15 minutes. She is not in pain or unusually tired, but she seems nauseated and refuses additional food. Should I continue to try to induce vomiting with fresh hydrogen peroxide within the 4-hour window, or will the hydrogen peroxide harm her if she does not vomit?

My dog, Draugr, who is 8 years old, has lupus and his nose is always cracked and sensitive. Recently, he bumped his nose and it started squirting blood like a hole in a water balloon. This has been ongoing for about a year since he was diagnosed with lupus, and the bleeding has been intermittent for about an hour. What should I do?

Our dog, Bolt, a 6-year-old Westie weighing 25 pounds, possibly got into something in our neighborhood while we were gone today and forgot to shut the gate. He keeps whining and panting on and off, indicating something is wrong, but we have no clue what he got into. Has he thrown up since this happened? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you?

My 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Charlie, threw up food and then white foamy liquid two Sundays ago. He had yellow diarrhea and was lethargic for two days. The vet did an X-ray, blood work, and analyzed his poop, all of which came back normal except for an irritated stomach. Charlie is still lethargic and not acting like himself. What could be causing this and what should I do?
