My dog, Eda, a 3.5-month-old puppy, is limping on her back hind leg. She is not putting much weight on it and prefers to lay down. There is no visible swelling, and she allows bending and straightening of the leg without fuss. She has been limping for about 20 minutes since being taken out of her cage. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Levi, a 7-pound, 8-month-old puppy, has been vomiting approximately every 15-20 minutes for about 45 minutes. He might have eaten rabbit poop contaminated with a small amount of fertilizer. Should I take him to the vet, and if not, what should I do to help him?

My dogs ate some of my skin care toner, which is dermatology-grade. They are full-size labradoodles and I think no more than 4 oz was eaten. This was about an hour ago and they haven't thrown up since. Their names are Sunny and Maggie, and they are 1 year old. They are acting normally. What should I do?

My dog, Minli, who is 11 months old, may have overdosed on calming chews 30 minutes ago. She last saw a vet in May and isn't on any medications. What should I do?

Our 6.5-year-old Labrador Retriever, Dozer, had surgery for an intestinal blockage and was on antibiotics and Cerenia. After initial improvement, he started refusing food, drinking excessively, and became agitated, stumbling, and disoriented. He was prescribed a high dose of prednisone for suspected Addison's disease. His condition improved slightly but he still refuses food and trembles. Is this a prednisone overdose, and what should I do next?

My American Akita puppy, Pablo, is 9 weeks old and weighs about 20 lbs. He ate half a piece of prosciutto, and it's the first day we've had him home. He has been a little anxious and his breathing rate has been quite high since we got him home. Is this normal due to anxiety? Also, my friend is planning to look after Pablo on Friday, and he has a rescue dog who is 2 years old. The friend is not 100% sure of the vaccination records for his dog, but he's pretty sure his dog had his puppy vaccines but has not had a booster. Pablo has had his first vaccine already and is having his second on Friday. Is it wise for my friend to come puppy sit Pablo, even though his dog is in good health, due to the potential for viruses to be spread on clothes/shoes etc?
