My dog, Coco, a 1-year-old weighing about 15-20 pounds, ate a chocolate cake pop from Buttercream bakery in DC about 15 minutes ago. She hasn't thrown up and has no known underlying medical issues or medications. What should I do and is she at risk of chocolate toxicity?

My 42-pound springer spaniel, Tucker, accidentally took human vitamins instead of his heart medicine. He ingested 50mg of zinc, 1000mg of vitamin C, 500mg of vitamin B5, and 3 tablets of Nutrafol hair supplements. He is acting normally and does not seem distressed. What should I do, and are there any signs of potential harm to watch for?

My dog, Akumara, a 7-year-old mixed breed (Boxador), just had a seizure that lasted about 2 minutes. He was sitting in his cage before the seizure and foamed at the mouth during it, but now seems fine. What could be the cause of the seizure and what should I do next?

My 10-year-old Cavalier named Pippa has a stage 4-5 heart murmur and a wheezing cough that seems to be getting worse. She is panting more than usual and has been prescribed Vetmedin 2.5 mg twice daily. She also has SM/CM (Syringomyelia/Chiari malformation), which has been controlled with gabapentin. What should I do to make her more comfortable, and is she possibly dying from congestive heart failure?

My 90-pound, 10-month-old Mastiff/Lab mix dog ate around 5-6 cherry pits off my daughter's plate last night. The dog vomited this morning after breakfast. What should I do?

My dog, Rudy, a 2-year-old labradoodle, has vomited 5 times today, is lethargic, not interested in water, and threw up chicken and rice. The vomit started with food and later became bile. He was briefly normal after eating but returned to lethargy. He has had normal bowel movements but is generally lethargic. What could be causing this and what should I do?
