My dog, Dina, a pit bull approximately 8 years old, hurt her paw yesterday and is limping. The pinky/outer toe is swollen. She was fixed in March and had a tumor removed, and didn't do well with the anesthesia. She was sleepy, breathing fast for a long time, and wouldn't eat or drink after the procedure. She puts weight on the injured leg if needed but otherwise limps and holds it up. How should I manage her condition until she can see the vet next week?

My dog, Dexter (3 1/2 years old, 20 lbs), ate a small piece of a wilsarin rat pellet this morning and vomited an hour ago. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?

I have a 10-year-old Great Dane named Saint who started running a fever and vomiting. The fever is almost gone now, and he is eating chicken and rice and keeping it down. The vomit was white, partially slimy like mucus, and partially liquid, with no food initially. He hasn't vomited since around 1:00 a.m. this morning. Could this be a bacterial infection, and what should I do next?

My 90 lb German Shepherd licked 1/2 tsp of indoxacarb roach poison. Has she vomited since, and should I monitor her for any signs of nausea or other symptoms?

I have a 6-year-old English bulldog with balding spots and flakey patches on her thigh area. She is not scratching, rubbing, or licking. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

My 18-pound, 6-year-old mini Aussie named Boogie ate about 3-4 ounces of milk chocolate, including one fun size bag of M&Ms and 5 Lindor small chocolates. I gave her 3 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, but she hasn't thrown up yet. What should I do next, and is there anything else I should consider, such as activated charcoal?
