My dog, Cocoa, a 5-year-old beagle mix weighing approximately 30lbs, ingested about 1oz of medicated body powder containing menthol and zinc oxide 20 minutes ago.

My 5-year-old Boston Terrier, Bugsy, had a seizure after not having one for 2 years since starting CBD oil. I couldn't purchase CBD oil due to COVID and moved in August 2020. A week ago, we treated our yard for fire ants, and 5 days ago, Bugsy vomited yellow and had a seizure. He's been on nothing since April 2020. The new vet put him on phenobarbital, and he's had 9 doses over 5 days. I want to take him off it ASAP and start him back on Nuleaf CBD oil. Will he have withdrawal symptoms after 5 days on phenobarbital? Will abruptly stopping it cause a seizure or death?

My dog, Kali, is throwing up clear phlegm-like substance every time she gets up from laying down. She also threw up water and bits of cheese after trying to drink and eat. She has not vomited since being in the kennel, which has been about 5 minutes. She has no known unusual food intake, no medications, and no pre-existing medical conditions. Her diet is Pedigree for small dogs, and she drinks water normally. She has normal energy and a soft belly. What could be causing this and what should I do?
