My dog has a sensitive stomach and ate some food that might have gone bad this morning, along with pieces of house plants including a philodendron and coleus. He's been vomiting since and looks unwell. He's about 57lbs, 9 years old, and is shivering a bit. What should I do to help him?

My dog, Abby, a 6-year-old with gastrointestinal issues, has been pooping melena for 3 days. She has not vomited but has had coughing fits and gagging. The first day's stool had mucus and a little blood, now it's firm with dark little blood. She recently ate bacon and has no changes in her diet. What should I do?

Our 56 lb pocket pittie ate the silver wrapper that the cream cheese comes in out of the trash. Is this something emergent? Do we induce vomiting?

My 10-year-old standard poodle, Cody, has started intermittently coughing, sometimes just after getting up from lying down or after lying across my lap. I suspect his heart/lung area might be getting compressed and causing the cough upon release. He has been wormed twice this year, does not meet other dogs often, and is generally healthy with normal eating and drinking habits. What could be causing this cough, and what diagnostics should I consider before consulting my vet?

My dog ate my pain killers. He's a medium-sized Labrador mixed with a mini poodle, 8 months old, and he ate about 20 pills, each 10 milligrams. He threw up last night after we gave him some hydrogen peroxide and again after we gave him some Pepto Bismol. What should I do, and could the medications he's currently taking (proviable, metronidazole, sucralfate, and omeprazole) be causing him to vomit and not poop?
