My husband mistakenly gave Metronidazole (250 mg) to my pregnant dog, Miranda, who is 5 and a half years old and past 35 days of pregnancy. Should I make her vomit with hydrogen peroxide, and is there anything else the veterinarian should be aware of?

My dog has an abscess in his throat, surgery was performed 2 days ago with a drain inserted, but the area still seems hard and may be filling back up. My dog is a less than 5 lbs Chihuahua, approximately 3/4 years old. There is drainage from the tube, and he is on long-acting antibiotics, daily amoxicillin, orbax, and carprofen for pain/inflammation. Is it okay to remove the cone if he is not fussing with the wound, and should I continue cleaning the area with hydrogen peroxide as recommended by my vet?

My 8-year-old Pit Bull, Troy, has been moving sluggishly, disinterested in food, play, or outdoors for the last couple of days. He has not eaten today, but he did poop and pee during a walk. His nose is wet and cool, and he had favored his right ear last week, which I treated and he seemed to respond. There is no history of vomiting.
