My dog, Dexter, a 2-year-old 80lb dog, punctured a battery while chewing a baby toy in his kennel. He did not swallow the battery, but it was punctured. He seems fine and has not vomited. Should I be concerned, and what should I monitor for?

My Basset Hound puppy, Oren, ate a large amount of dog food (about 1/3 of an 8 lb bag) about an hour ago. He weighs 15 lbs and has not vomited yet. What should I do to prevent potential food bloat, which can be life-threatening?

My dog, Callie, a 15-year-old border collie/lab mix weighing roughly 55 lbs, may have eaten about half a medium-sized raw yellow onion within the last 4 hours. There has been no vomiting. What should I do, and is there any risk to her health?

My 10-pound, 1-year-old dog, Daphne, ate three pieces of homemade no-bake cookies containing 6 tablespoons of Hershey's cocoa powder. She has vomited since then. Should I be concerned about chocolate toxicity, and what should I do?

My dog, Ace, ate some spicy wings and old pizza a couple days ago. Now he's been vomiting and is lethargic. He also had diarrhea that day but hasn't had any since. What should I do?

Our dog, Atlas, a Doberman and Labrador mix, has been vomiting and lethargic for about 3 days, with a decrease in appetite over the past week. Despite lab work and X-rays, the cause remains unknown. He cannot keep food or water down and is very low in energy. What can we do at home, and is there a way to administer IV fluids at home to keep him hydrated?
